Final Girl
October 27, 2025
It was fun building an entire scene for this project. I found myself going back and utilizing the “match color” feature that we learned during the star wars project. I just found a bunch of random pictures that I copy and pasted in. Some of them required a lot more color correcting than others. I also added shadows to settle…

Dauntless
October 26, 2025
The biggest challenge with this project was filing through the mock-up file and finding the exact layers that actually mattered. Usually, I feel like mock-ups are simpler and only has like 1-10 items in them. It was also challenging to find photos that I wanted to use because I either didn’t have access to them or they were too low…

A eye-catching hair day
October 13, 2025
My initial submission was a tad bit boring, but it followed the criteria of a text book ad such as this. So for my revision, I decided to lean more into humor. I found a tutorial that allowed me to swap hair between two different pictures. I thought the tagline “Same hands-now with better hair” was funny. I think this…

Flowing Flowers
October 13, 2025
For this project, I found a background image that was of a ballerina interacting with a piece of flowy fabric. To me, it stood as symbolism of fluid movements and of a flower blooming. For that reason, I added three rectangles, merged shapes, and then added an image of red spider lily’s on top of that shape layer to which…

Toying Around Revision
October 8, 2025
Based on the feedback that I received, I tried to find a different photo background that fit a little bit more. Unfortunately, the focal depth still is too narrow. That being said, thanks for the tips on removing the matting on the photos. It helped to sell the image of the dinosaurs being more in the scene.

Toy Dinos
September 28, 2025
I found a bunch of dinosaur toy stock photos so I had the idea to create a scene. Looking at the Toyphotographers IG page, I saw that they mostly used a blurred out realistic background, so I did the same with a mossy field. Then, I placed the dinosaurs so that there was a foreground, mid, and background. In the…

Maguffin Shoes V2
September 27, 2025
Per the feedback that I received, I decided to go forward with the female track athlete theme. For the IG ad, I played with transform-skew tool and manipulated “MAGUFFIN” to act as a shadow. For the banner, I added more context and played with color so that it ties in with the blue track of the IG ad. My main…

Maguffin Shoes
September 23, 2025
For this project, I took heavy inspiration from popular shoe brands like Nike, Sketchers, and Adidas. I looked at what sort of posts they made for their new shoe collections and decided to follow the same formula. First, I created a gradient background. Then, I found a adobe stock photo of a shoe, selected the subject, and learned how to…

Bless this Mess Thumbnail
September 18, 2025
For this project, I took heavy inspiration from the Bon Appétit YouTube channel and their thumbnails. I first took a screenshot of her in a video where the stuff she laid out was not too different from the two meals that she would be cooking. I then used the AI remove background to remove her from the picture and then…

Selfie with a Trooper
September 15, 2025
I thought it would funny to add a picture of my friend and a storm trooper just taking a selfie while a whole battle is going down in the back. I’ve never watched star wars so I just looked at some references and tried to make the background as on theme as possible.
