Crazy Eights

Adapted from the "eight ideas in eight minutes" design exercise: one shared eight-minute budget, no per-drawing checkpoints, every mark drawn by the model itself as SVG.

98 sketches from 12 runs across 6 briefs.

9 of 12 runs went over the eight-minute budget.

Read before quoting: 2 notes
  1. Each brief has one run per agent, not an average of several attempts, so a single unlucky or lucky run can stand for the whole brief.
  2. Quality was not scored. This page shows what each agent made, not which drawings are better.
