The Challenge

People love creating unreal, imaginative burger combinations. What if we could bring their ideas to life using AI? The challenge was to combine creativity and technology in a way that would captivate audiences and drive sales.

The Solution

We created an interactive landing page where users could take a quiz to generate their own AI-designed burgers. The quiz inputs—favorite music genre, movie preferences, and zodiac sign—were used to produce personalized, surreal burger visuals. Each AI-generated burger came with a real-life combo voucher, offering a discount on a Coca-Cola and McDonald’s burger combo. As the Creative Technologist, I led the project’s creative and technological development, including optimizing MidJourney prompts and designing an AI-driven solution that transformed user preferences into imaginative burger designs.
