Why do we use the image of an octopus so much? Back in 2010, a group of students painted a mural featuring an octopus in the stairwell of our department. They chose the octopus because it is a naturally curious creature with a creative personality that enables it to solve problems. I think that fits our department pretty well. Now in 2026, Kylie Smit uses two Octopuses to create a dynamic scene in Photoshop. Could she have used ai? Yes. Would this be as authentic and original? No. While ai has it's place in Design, learning how to create the traditional way does too. Great work Kylie!
