non stock visuals recommendations

Hi community,

I was looking for non-stock, disruptive, natural looking visuals across different themes, including people, urban life, environment, culture, and everyday moments. I tried Death to Stock, but found the imagery was almost like "arty stock" a lot of posed stuff not super interesting to me

Any cool recommendations?

thansk!

We just launched! would love some feedback

hi community

We just launched on Product Hunt! DesignXDM

We’re building something different from most AI design tools. Instead of jumping straight to final outputs, our tool helps creatives explore ideas, build stronger visual direction, and avoid generic AI results.

Would love your feedback and support from the community. You get 350 credits renewed daily.

have a lovely weekend!

Inspiration for image generation model

Hi community!

I’m looking to fine-tune an image generation model and would love to hear what people actually want.

Not polished final renders, more the kinds of visuals, aesthetics, textures, moods, references, or creative ingredients that are hard to find with existing AI tools.

If you could train a model for one specific visual style or creative purpose, what would it be?

feedback on new feature

Hi friends,

May I ask for some feedback on our new feature?

DesignXDM now shows how closely our AI agentic curator matches sourced visuals to your creative brief.

In this example, the idea was based around maglev train technology. The curator scored each visual and explained why it worked — or where it missed the brief.

This helps designers understand not just what was sourced, but why it fits, how relevant it is, and how it can support the creators idea.

Did Disney pull away from Sora because of copyright risk?

If AI-generated video has unclear ownership, it makes sense that large IP-driven companies would be cautious. This may be a major reason why disney pulled back from the OpenAI (Sora RIP) deal, do you think?

Is copyright uncertainty becoming the biggest barrier for AI video?

Unblank the canvas

Hey everyone, (reposting this 🙈)

I’ve been working on DesignXDM, a tool that uses AI for visual ideation and creative direction, rather than just generating finished images.

The goal is to help creatives move from a blank canvas to a clearer visual direction through mood, references, textures, patterns, colours, and atmosphere.

It’s not about replacing designers, but supporting the thinking before the making.

We currently use 9 different AI models. If there’s a model you think we should add, message me.

Still early, so I’d love feedback on avoiding generic AI aesthetics, improving ideation workflows, and maintaining originality.

You can claim 350 credits daily if you try it out.

Would love to hear your thoughts, if this is a tool you would use?

AI is great for exploring ideas, but there’s a real risk when tools jump straight to finished work.

One issue is copyright. A recent Cambridge report, “AI, Copyright and Productivity in the UK Creative Industries,” highlights the uncertainty around AI-generated visuals when there is limited human creative involvement.

That’s why I’m more interested in AI being used for ideation and creative direction, not just instant execution. The value comes from human taste, judgment, structure, and what you do with the results.

I was reading a recent MCTD Cambridge report that highlights the copyright uncertainty around AI-generated visuals in the US and UK, particularly when there is limited human creative involvement. Any thoughts?
