CASE STUDY SUMMARY

Challenge

Adobe needed to demonstrate and market their new features in Adobe Express. Premiere Beta (Color Mode) and Adobe Ps Mobile. These spots are intentionally designed to appeal to non-users to professionals in this space.

Concept

I developed a skater-inspired, art-school aesthetic where brush strokes literally interacted with a skateboarder mid-trick. This juxtaposition of real action photography with digital brush strokes created a playful, high-energy narrative that visually matched the creative freedom Photoshop offers. The skateboarder became a canvas for demonstrating brush properties in motion.

Solution

• Designed motion and static assets where brush strokes wrapped around, erased, and highlighted the skateboarder. • Used bold primary blue strokes to clearly showcase brush dynamics (opacity, hardness, smoothing, angle, flow). • Integrated layered text and UI overlays to highlight key Photoshop features without losing visual impact. • Delivered a series of modular assets that could work as social carousels, in-product tutorials, or educational content.

Outcome

• Successfully delivered a set of assets that made Photoshop’s brush tools feel accessible, fun, and inspiring rather than technical. • Reinforced Adobe’s positioning of Photoshop as both a professional tool and a playground for creativity. • Elevated product education into a visually dynamic story, driving both engagement and feature awareness.
