What $2.2 Billion Can Teach Us About Motion Design
At number two on the list of mobile game successes this year is Scopely’s Monopoly Go, which accumulated an impressive $2.2 billion (source: pocketgamer.biz). Its success isn’t just about numbers—it’s a testament to the game’s exceptional design, blending engaging mechanics with brilliant motion design. Scopely’s mastery lies in making every reward feel truly rewarding, combining stunning animations with thoughtful game design that keeps players immersed and coming back for more.

Bringing AI to the Table: Product Photography for Restaurants
At Bisuala, we’re passionate about great product photography—but we understand that not every project has the budget or logistics for a full-scale photoshoot.
AI-Generated Concepts for a 3D Scene, Brought to Life in Cinema 4D
That’s why, when a client at a Spanish airport restaurant needed visuals for their digital signage, we used Midjourney to create lifelike images that looked every bit as good as traditional photography. From mouthwatering dishes to elegant table settings, the AI-generated visuals captured the restaurant’s unique vibe, keeping costs lean and quality high.
This project showed us how AI can transform the way we think about visuals for marketing and branding. Want to see how it all came together? I’ve shared the full story on our blog, with tips for how you can leverage this innovative approach.
We’re truly grateful to have you with us and wish you a wonderful year ahead. Here’s to new opportunities and exciting projects in the coming year—we can’t wait to share it with you!
