We've posted about this before, but one of my favorite placeholders for Road Trip to the End of the World was... the literal reference photo I took of my friend. That and the sketchy save-the-date card are both easy & valid ways of communicating visual concepts without the use of GenAI.

A photo of a woman in the driver's seat of a car, taken from the back seat. There is a sketchy overlay of a save-the-date card.

A drawn version of the previous photo: a woman and a fish in the front seats of a car, viewed from the back seat. There is a full-color overlay of the same save-the-date card.
