    Search engines are not really helping me here. Does anyone have real world examples from companies the general public knows that incorporates corporate Memphis? I don’t really remember seeing it that often and I feel like maybe I’m on crazy pills

      For an example of what these illustrations evolved into look at Firefox.com. But overall they have died not because of AI Slop, but because they got stale and any hangover over the last couple years was from “pre-built” templates.

      From personal experience I’d see it in PowerPoints, business to business (B2B) marketing, and a lot of SaS or digital tech products.

      A lot of companies in those spaces went abstract or geometric and phased stock photos of people laughing at nothing back into their marketing.

      The stock images of people is what these Memphis stick figures replaced because it was easier to spin things up quickly without agonizing over getting photographic diversity, which was kind of a driver at the time.

      It’s my job to keep an eye on trends.
