In a video addressing the issue, Moses Bliss apologized to those who felt undervalued. “I sincerely apologize to every graphic designer who felt disrespected or undervalued… that was never my intention,” he stated.
He explained that his team already had a flyer design in place but, after seeing the feedback and submissions from followers, he turned the process into a lighthearted challenge. “The goal was to give creatives a platform to showcase their work, not to undermine their value,” he added.
