How I work, in the open.

AI tools sit in the same drawer as Figma, Photoshop and a code editor. I reach for them early, when the cost of an idea should be close to zero, and less and less as the work moves toward final.

• Concept exploration and creative ideation
• Image generation and presentation mockups
• UI, layout and motion exploration
• Copy drafting, editing and refinement
• Code generation and development assistance
• The animated build sequence in the hero, generated with Claude

None of this replaces design work. It widens the search before the decisions start.

Every prompt, every direction, every selection and every revision is mine. AI produces options; it does not choose between them, set the brief, or sign anything off.

Whatever is published here or delivered to a client goes through human review proportionate to the work — a concept image gets a designer's eye, production code gets read and tested.

The presentation scenes in the portfolio — the laptop shots, rooms and lighting around each screenshot — are AI-generated from my prompts. What sits inside those scenes is not: the branding, layouts, interfaces and creative direction are drawn by hand in Figma, Illustrator and Photoshop.

The animated build sequence in the hero was generated with Claude, then reviewed, refined and integrated into the site by hand. It is code rather than imagery, and the final implementation is mine.

Elsewhere, AI-assisted editing is used where it earns its place — retouching a photograph, cleaning up an export. I would rather say all of this once, plainly, than scatter badges across the site. Ask about any specific asset and you'll get a straight answer about how it was made.

Some of the writing on byanicic.com started life as an AI draft. All of it was read, cut, rewritten where it needed to be, and editorially approved before it went live.

Voice is half the job here, so nothing goes out that I wouldn't have written myself.

The portfolio holds both kinds of work, and each project says which it is in the line under its title.

• Client project — commissioned, delivered, in use.
• Concept project — self-initiated, unbriefed, built to demonstrate capability.

Concept work isn't lesser work. It's often where the sharpest ideas live, because nothing has been negotiated down. But it is not a commission, and it is never presented as one.

The EU AI Act sets specific, human-visible disclosure duties for certain kinds of synthetic content — deepfake depictions of real people among them. Where something on this site or in delivered work falls into one of those categories, the disclosure belongs on that content in its own context, not on this page.

This section describes actual practice rather than certifying compliance, and it makes no promise that provenance metadata such as C2PA survives every export, upload and platform — that is outside what this workflow can guarantee today.

Nothing, directly. There is no contact form, no newsletter, no login, no analytics and no advertising or tracking script of any kind on byanicic.com. One third party is involved: on screens wider than 768px the two typefaces are served by Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address when they load. Nothing else on these pages comes from outside this site.

The only record of your visit is the ordinary access log my hosting provider keeps — IP address, time, page, browser — which exists to keep the site running and secure, and which I neither analyse nor combine with anything else.

No cookies are set. Three small values live in your browser's own storage, and none of them identifies you:

• preferredLang — remembers EN or SR after you use the language switch
• bacSiteEntered — stops the intro animation replaying on every page
• langRedirected — prevents a redirect loop between the two languages

All three are set by something you did, serve only the interface, and can be cleared at any time in your browser settings. That is why this site has no cookie banner: there is nothing here that consent law requires you to agree to.

Email and phone are the only channels. What you send me — your name, your address, whatever you choose to include — sits in my mailbox and becomes the basis of our working relationship. The lawful basis is my legitimate interest in answering you, and a contract once we start work.

Kept while the project is live, then as long as invoicing and tax law requires, then deleted. Nothing is sold, shared or used for marketing.

Under the GDPR you can ask what I hold about you, ask for a copy, have it corrected or erased, or object to my keeping it. One email is enough and there is no form to fill in.

I am the controller for this data: Aleksandar Aničić, Belgrade, Serbia. If you think I have handled something badly, you can complain to your national data protection authority, or to the Serbian Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection.
