Working on a new motivational gothic concept — "GREAT THINGS NEVER COME FROM COMFORT ZONE"
Dark fantasy meets motivational design. Black panther as a symbol of fear, power, and moving through darkness. Created as a premium book cover / inspirational poster concept.
Designed in: Photoshop + Midjourney + typography detailing
Looking for feedback on the lighting and text hierarchy.
Designed the landing page and dashboard preview for Thaw — an AI platform that tracks anxiety, mood, and burnout, framing emotional buildup as frost that gradually melts through guided sessions.
Mental health apps tend to land in one of two places: too clinical to feel human, or too soft to feel like it takes anything seriously. So the whole design leans on one strong metaphor instead — a head encased in melting ice — and lets oversized typography wrap directly around it for real visual weight.
Below the hero, the dashboard preview does the harder work: mood stability, anxiety signals, sleep quality, and a specific AI-detected insight that makes the product feel genuinely perceptive rather than generic.
A warm dark palette with cool blue type keeps the tone serious without tipping into heavy.

Caelum isn't a real product. It's a self-initiated portfolio piece — a fictional daily collagen gummy I built end to end to practise taking a clinical category and giving it clean-beauty desirability.
The name (Latin for "sky") set the direction: clarity. Skin, clear as sky. Form came before colour — I skipped the generic supplement jar for a sculptural asymmetric bottle, with a wide mouth for the gummies and matte soft-touch plastic instead of glass (glass would've been dishonest for something you open every day — the luxury is in the touch, not the shine).
The campaign was directed through my Augmented Art Direction approach: AI as a precision instrument under tight direction, then unified by hand in Affinity so the set reads as one campaign.
Real question for you: does the matte plastic feel more premium than glass here, or less? Curious where people land. 👇
