Nike needs to sponsor the dad who refuses to make two trips with the groceries. 😂 
You offer to grab a bag and he’s telling you, “I got it,” while trying to fit one more on his arm. All right, man. I’ll just get the door. 
So I gave that idea to the AI ad system I’m building.   AI developed the concepts, copy and visuals, and I directed changes along the way. These are the three we ended up with. 
“One Trip. No Victory Lap.” is my pick. 
Send this to the dad who’s going to look at these pictures and tell you he could’ve carried another bag.

I made two ads for Dr. King’s speech, and I wanted to bring you into the thinking a little bit. Because you might look at that check and wonder how I even got there.

So I put this video together to show you. Where the check idea came from, why I used quotation marks around a portrait, and how both turned out.

Take a look and tell me which one you’d go with. I want to hear why. by @cornellgormankc

I didn’t want you to just stop at the graphic. I wanted you to watch the speech.
So I gave myself a project: create two ads for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream.”
One frames a portrait with quotation marks. The invitation is simple: hear the voice behind the words.
The other makes the speech’s bad-check metaphor visible. Freedom and justice promised, then marked “insufficient funds.”
That’s the part of the work I wanted to share with you. Not just the colors and fonts, but how the message shaped the ideas.
Both ads point to the same speech. They just give you different reasons to pay attention.
Which one makes you more curious to watch—the portrait or the check?

Y’all know I spend a lot of time with AI, and I’ve been trying to figure out what that means for marketing, video, design,all of it. From the strategy to making the thing and getting it in front of people.
And it’s a lot. There’s always something else to learn or add before you feel ready to put it out there. But I could keep doing that forever, so we’re going for it.

I get to talk to a lot of doers, go-getters, people in going for it. And sometimes they’re explaining what they do, and I’m thinking, “Hold on, there’s something in that.”
They explain it so well in person. The challenge is getting it onto social media without losing what made it good in the conversation. 
People be having fire interviews, amazing websites, notes full of good ideas. They just haven’t done much with that stuff because they’re running their business. 
So I figured I could help with that.
They can send me what they have. We talk through it, I find the idea, write the words, and put the post or ad together. Whether they’re telling a story, making a point, or promoting an event, I want to make sure what they’re trying to say doesn’t get lost just because we’re saying it differently.
They review everything. But they don’t have to spend their whole evening figuring out what the post should say before giving it to me. 
That’s the part I want to take off their plate. 
Here’s a few examples so y’all can see where my head’s been. 
I’m taking on paid projects now. So if you have a business or know somebody who could use help with this, send me a message or send them my way. I’d love to hear what they’re working on. 
Quick note: These examples are concepts I created to show my ideas and what I can make. They’re not client work—the brands shown didn’t hire me to create them. by @cornellgormankc

This was definitely a celebration/congratulations kind of weekend!

@kansascitygift — phenomenal gala! @theequityadvocate amazing work once again, bro. This is definitely just the beginning.

@christian.a.boone man, what an honor to know you. You’ve been a blessing since you got here, and I know you’re going to be a God-honoring, devoted husband. I’m extremely excited for you and your bride!

@wearethearoma — congratulations to everyone who got baptized and made a public declaration of their faith in Christ. It’s an honor, and sooooo cool, to get to be part of such a meaningful moment in your journey.

Congratulations, everyone! I’m praying for continued health, joy, and blessing over each of you.. by @cornellgormankc

GLOBAL FILM FESTIVAL - Guard  What Happens when the worst version of you gives you everything you wanted….  The world rewarded her rage. Then her sister started learning it.
I made GUARD, a Black psychological sports drama created with AI.
I wasn’t trying to make a technology demo. I wanted to know whether I could use these tools to make something genuinely human.
This is my submission to the Higgsfield Global Film Festival.

Watch it.

Then tell me honestly:
Did she lose or did she finally decide what winning meant?
If the film earns your support, share it @higgsfield.ai @higgsfield.creators by @cornellgormankc
