A dark-colored bus stop displays a large advertisement featuring a silhouetted person holding an umbrella against a sunset backdrop. The ad includes the text "switch. to travel expert." and "Your next immersive experience is PG." The bus stop is situated on a sidewalk beside a street, with tall buildings visible in the background and trees to the right.



A dark advertisement on a digital billboard displays a woman in profile, smoking a cigarette, with the text "switch to food explorer." Below the ad, the text "your next homebreaker starts @giphy" is visible. The billboard is mounted on a pole on a sidewalk beside a street, with buildings and a tree in the background.



A digital billboard displays a photograph of a woman holding a smartphone, with text reading “switch to photographer.” Below the advertisement, text reads “switch to photographer.” A “Google” logo is visible in the bottom right corner. The billboard is mounted on a dark structure on a sidewalk, with a building and trees in the background.



Five smartphones are displayed on a dark background, each showing different screens. The leftmost phone displays “switch: Control Center” with icons for settings, contacts, messaging, and settings. The center phone shows “Add”, “Browser”, and “Apps” icons. The rightmost phone displays “App Customization” with a Snapchat logo. The screens show various app icons and status indicators.



A grayscale image shows a hand pointing at a smartphone screen displaying “Control Panel” at the top. The screen shows various icons including a Starbucks logo, a calendar icon labeled “Fri. April 21,” and several app icons including a clock, calendar, messaging, and settings icons. The phone’s top bar shows the time as 10:28 PM and battery level at 15%. The background is solid black.



A smartphone displays a notification screen showing “Notification” from Starbucks, Airbnb, and Venmo. The time is 9:41, and the date is Fri, April 21. The notification shows “Your order is ready for pickup” at 9:26 AM and “Julia replied your message” at 11:14 AM. The phone’s home screen shows apps like Watermelon Sugar and Herry Style. The text “Mindful Notification” appears on the left.



A smartphone displays a music player interface showing "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles on its screen. The screen also shows app icons including Google, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter. The phone’s screen is white, and the background is gray. Text on the right reads “02 Visual Adjustment” and “All colors will be adjusted to 80% of original saturation and gradient color will be flattened to solid color.” A small circular icon with a white dot is visible near the bottom right corner of the screen.
