Chapter 12 Pixel Perfect

• Act II: Designing Despair
• After some awkward Ice breakers and group exercises, everyone was eager to get down to business. As the environment shifted, Akira found himself sitting with his teammates around the fancy conference room table, as Pixel took the floor. It was a cutting-edge environment that fostered collaboration and innovation, seamlessly blending the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds.
• “Our goal is to create a brand identity that truly embodies the spirit and values of Aesthetic Autocracy Design Corp,” Pixel said, with every syllable meticulously calculated for maximum effect. “Whether you're a junior designer or a senior member of the team, we need all hands on deck to make this a success.” It was effective, pushing all the right buttons in Akira's lizard brain. Intellectually he knew it was fake, but emotionally he was a slave to his brain's neurotransmitters.
