Design Genie
What will Design Genie not draw?
By Nimanto 2 min read
In short
Every brief is screened before anything is painted. Genie designs any real celebration from any culture, but never a show's or brand's characters, a famous person, writing inside a picture, or explicit, hateful or violent content. A declined brief is not filed and uses none of your allowance.
Genie reads every brief and every revision note before it spends anything, so you know up front what it will and will not do.
What Genie happily designs
Any real celebration from any culture or religion, including same-sex weddings, memorials and celebrations of life, divorce parties, tasteful bachelor and bachelorette parties and pets' birthdays. Party themes such as pirates, zombies, casino nights or cocktails are fine. When unsure, Genie designs it.
Licensed shows and characters
A show's, film's or game's characters, logo, name and lettering belong to their owner, so Genie never draws them, copies their look or writes their name. It designs an original party of the same kind instead: for a toddler sing-along show, little ones, music and nursery rhymes; for a superhero, an original kid hero in colours of Genie's own.
You are told as you type: naming a well-known show brings up a notice under the field, the brief reads "for a show fan, with characters of its own", and the confirmation pop-up says it again with Change the theme before anything is filed. The results page repeats it. Generic themes such as dinosaurs, unicorns, superheroes in general or fairy tales are not treated as shows.
People
- Lifelike people are painted when you ask for them: with the Lifelike choice or style, or words such as "real people, not cartoon". Otherwise people are 3D animated characters.
- Genie paints only your own family and friends from the photos you upload, never a celebrity or public figure, and only with your consent. See Star photo.
- A wedding has no animal characters unless you choose animals or name one in your own words.
- No picture Genie paints carries writing; the invitation's words are set over the painting.
What is declined
Explicit or sexual content, anything sexualising a child, hate or harassment, violence or extremism, illegal activity or self-harm, text that is not a brief, and reference images that are explicit, gory, hateful or carry written instructions. A declined brief returns one short, polite sentence. It is not filed and uses none of your allowance.
