KLING: GRAPHIC TEE WORKFLOW

So KLING Try-On has had some issues with translating t-shirt graphics.

They’re often warped or the design loses fidelity.

HERE’S A WAY TO COMBAT THAT → FULL THREAD

QUICK THOUGHTS:

• Kling has a hard time with graphic tees

• In the “Virtual Try-On Feature”

• The designs tend to warp or morph

• Especially when upscaling

• Taking the extra step with Illustrator

• Helps keep the design static

CUSTOM AI WORKFLOWS: FOR YOU

Never a dull moment at SUPERSIDE.

We’ve now surpassed 2000+ PROJECTS completed with Ai

RESULTS: 50-85% Reduction in Hours → $1.4 Million Saved for Clients.

For brads like Amazon, Reddit, Google, Coinbase, Booking.com, etc…

WHY USE AI?:

• So we get from brief-to-first-draft as rapidly as possible.

• With key visuals/copy/ux/ui trained and tailored to brand guidelines/standards

• Fully automated with tools like OpenAi/Claude/Flux/Figma

• So we cut the back-and-forth time on “does this fit the brand?”

• And we focus on strategy, visual firepower, and iteration.

The best part?…If we can’t do it with Ai…we have 500+ traditionally trained world-class designers…who can do it by hand.

Have a design problem that needs solving? (We like those)

It’s worth a convo (at the very minimum).

PODCAST: IS MIDJOURNEY IN TROUBLE?

Drew and I went LIVE this week talking about all the craziness.

(Thank you to those who joined us live)

In this episode…we’re expressing some concern over Midjourney.
