Crazy how far AI has come with art direction 2025 vs Now
I've been using Claude and Codex (Mainly for the actual helmet and team logo gens) on an overhaul of my Android F1 widget app. This clip compares my real September 2025 widget with the version I've now released. Both versions were made with AI The implementation work involved fitting the design into five widget sizes, keeping the schedule readable, and handling practice, qualifying, races and sprint weekends. I reviewed the rendered results and requested changes to the layouts and artwork along the way to get it exacly how i wanted. For the art, I used Codex's built in image generation for concepts and the combined helmet/name/number badges, using helmet references and several rounds of revisions. The chosen badges were extracted with transparent backgrounds and integrated into the Android app. Team logos and circuit maps are separate assets. The widget draws its frames, stripes, dots and schedule text in code. The captures come from the Android app, so the video includes the actual implemented, track maps and session states. It's available on Android. The Standard widget is free; team and driver themes are optional paid extras. Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details
