      <description>&lt;p&gt;With the recent development of Artificial Intelligence over the past year, brands have integrated this form of digital technology to help businesses, products and generally productivity scale up. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Flair AI is a design tool powered by artificial intelligence to make content creation easier. Users of the Flair AI product can create high-end photographic images for their brands on their websites, social media accounts for marketing purposes or other uses as the end-user may deem fit. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This product has a lot of features such as uploading images, editing and upscaling images, adding and removing assets, adding and removing elements, removing backgrounds, erasing objects/backgrounds, generating backgrounds through AI.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Users can create a standard photograph for products and brands by uploading their products and requesting a perfect background generated by the AI prompt. The background is generated by visually describing the desired scene around your product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisites&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;
Desktop- The Flair App can only be accessed on a desktop or computer. It is yet to be introduced for mobile devices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOW TO USE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Log on the &lt;a href="https://flair.ai/"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;, click on create with flair. You are directed to creating an account through google authentication or through an email and password sign up prompt. It is advisable to watch the demo video on the website for easy navigation and understanding on how to use the application.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After a successful login, you are directed to the homepage, Click on projects to &lt;strong&gt;create a new project&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--JTBpBr-f--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/nsxhs8czocqizgf49gsg.jpeg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--JTBpBr-f--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/nsxhs8czocqizgf49gsg.jpeg" alt="Create New Project" width="800" height="420"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As earlier mentioned, creating a new design through the project page gives you access to the amazing features offered by this amazing product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Next, &lt;strong&gt;drag and drop&lt;/strong&gt; the product or image inside the dotted bottle canvas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--TGGvr_b4--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/79izp3lwt3e59wqurlpb.jpeg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--TGGvr_b4--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/79izp3lwt3e59wqurlpb.jpeg" alt="Upload product in canvas" width="800" height="1338"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then &lt;strong&gt;edit your image&lt;/strong&gt; to your desired taste either by removing the background, upscaling images or editing the colour of the image. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--k4ZLeO2a--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/05l1y2fvp2nszuqxp2iu.jpeg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--k4ZLeO2a--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/05l1y2fvp2nszuqxp2iu.jpeg" alt="Edit Image" width="800" height="1338"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then &lt;strong&gt;generate photoshoot&lt;/strong&gt; by editing the prompt form. This can be done by: &lt;br&gt;
i. Renaming the &lt;strong&gt;product&lt;/strong&gt; to fit the product category. Products may be a can, bottle, wine glass, handbag, box or whatever will accurately describe the product.&lt;br&gt;
ii. Describing the desired scene or background for the image. This can be done by describing the desired product placement and surrounding.&lt;br&gt;
For instance, Placement can be described as ...&lt;em&gt;standing on a natural hill&lt;/em&gt; or ...&lt;em&gt;standing on a glassy island on water&lt;/em&gt; or ...&lt;em&gt;standing on a glacier&lt;/em&gt; or ...&lt;em&gt;emerging from a natural hill&lt;/em&gt; etc. &lt;br&gt;
Surrounding can be ...&lt;em&gt;surrounded by ice&lt;/em&gt; or ...&lt;em&gt;next to flowers&lt;/em&gt; or ... &lt;em&gt;with blossoms&lt;/em&gt; or ...&lt;em&gt;with glass blobs&lt;/em&gt;, all depending on your desired scenery or surrounding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--gnuk5eCM--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/7hm0t9zbvtea9ypd9915.jpeg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--gnuk5eCM--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/7hm0t9zbvtea9ypd9915.jpeg" alt="Generate Product" width="800" height="1196"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then click on the &lt;strong&gt;Generate Button&lt;/strong&gt; to generate the perfect background to suit your taste.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Demo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Here’s a personal demo of the photoshoot I created with Flair AI. I used my favourite hibiscus tea brand to create different sceneries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Super Impressed at how each images fits each description perfectly. Images were generated in less than a minute. I didn't have to do much; I just dragged and dropped the image, edited the image by removing the background then I described the desired scene/background for my pictures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First Image is described as a "can on circular glass platform next to flowers" while the second is a "can on circular marble platform surrounded by cherry blossoms" and the third is a "can emerging from a natural hill surrounded by trees".&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--ahTWd3yn--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/21ee3aspeamiw9vdjkji.jpeg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--ahTWd3yn--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/21ee3aspeamiw9vdjkji.jpeg" alt="can on circular glass platform next to flowers" width="797" height="786"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--ysa1e7e2--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/tb6izf2hrgzbm3j3mr3g.jpeg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--ysa1e7e2--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/tb6izf2hrgzbm3j3mr3g.jpeg" alt="can on circular marble platform surrounded by cherry blossoms" width="795" height="790"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--J372Tthj--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/s70si24irg1daxe21ung.jpeg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--J372Tthj--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/s70si24irg1daxe21ung.jpeg" alt="can emerging from a natural hill surrounded by trees" width="777" height="776"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The flair application is a life changing innovation for products, brand owners, small business and content creators. You need not be an expert graphic designer to use and create something tangible for your brand. I suck at designing but I was able to create the perfect background.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is highly recommended for everyone. It saves time, perfect for content creation and brand marketing, and most importantly it is free to use.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Universe - The Ultimate Mobile Website Builder</title>
      <dc:creator>Mary Shodiya</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Nothing beats doing things far away from the norm and doing well while at it. How would you feel if you were able to create a complete functional website on your phone without having to write any code. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Introducing &lt;strong&gt;UNIVERSE&lt;/strong&gt;- a no-code website builder. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I came across Universe while doing my usual surfing through the internet. It was incredible what I saw. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tested and Trusted! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built a complete website in less than a minute on my mobile phone, without writing any code and guess what, it comes with a free domain name. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PREREQUISITES&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have a Mobile Phone, lol &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nothing else 🤷‍♂️, just with your mobile phone you already have a website on Universe &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GETTING STARTED&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Log on to &lt;a href="https://onuniverse.com/"&gt;universe&lt;/a&gt;, you will be required to create an account. Creating an account is very seamless too, you don’t have to go through the hurdles of signing up, signing in and all what nots. Just input your email address and desired password and you are in. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--o0VkmZa4--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/u138vlelu5sadoxf8tjp.jpeg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--o0VkmZa4--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/u138vlelu5sadoxf8tjp.jpeg" alt="Universe Login Page " width="880" height="1302"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Using Universe on WebApp &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After successfully signing in to the universe homepage, you will be prompted to choose between trying universe on a Web App, or downloading the application on the App Store for users with iOS operating systems. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone including Android users and Personal Computers can use the Web App.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I tried the option of Web Application, and was immediately directed to the domain page. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creating a Domain&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Next, you are asked to create a unique website address on the search bar. As you type your desired domain name, the boxes indicates addresses that are free, unavailable and others that are to be paid for. Universe free domains are usually in “.uni.ver.se” sounds cool right… &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well for mine, I chose “techg.uni.ver.se”. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Templates&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Next, you are directed to a list of web templates available to choose for… Some are important for Portfolios, others for listing websites, e-commerce and whatever you like. Choose your desired Template. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit Templates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All that is required here is to edit the text, background colours, text colours, add/delete images, add links, add/delete rows to what you desire your web page to look like. With just a tap on the text or row, you can simply edit your universe project to your desired taste. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Publish&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;
Tap on the publish button to make your site live. As simple as that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit Page&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
If you want to edit your site, you can do that &lt;a href="https://web.univer.se/sites"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Universe is perfect for portfolios, e-commerce website and generally static website. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, I hope Universe can roll out more features including making this amazing product available on the Google play store.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here’s &lt;a href="https://techg.univer.se/"&gt;something&lt;/a&gt; I created with Universe.&lt;/p&gt;
