What started as a poster for a local Longboard Fest turned into a creative playground.
I began by generating an illustration from two reference images. After a LOT of iterations, I finally found the direction I was looking for.
Then I experimented with Envato's Style Transfer, exploring different visual styles until one really stood out.
My first idea was simple: place the poster into mockups and animate a flyer falling onto the sand. But once I saw it... it just didn't feel right.
So I changed direction.
While browsing Envato's video templates, I found one with layered posters. Instead of choosing a single design, I decided to animate five different versions of my poster.
That unexpected decision completely transformed the final result, and became my Human by Design moment.
AI helped me explore possibilities, but the creative direction, the decisions, and the final story were entirely human.
Created for the Contra × Envato Human by Design Challenge.

I like that you shared the changes in direction instead of just the final result. Those creative pivots are usually where the strongest ideas come from.
Project Update: Behind the Scenes Go behind the scenes and see how I created a logo, complete brand identity, and promotional video using only Envato assets.
A behind-the-scenes breakdown is such a good move for this challenge, it shows the process instead of just the polished output. Building a full brand identity plus a promo video from only Envato assets is no small feat, what took the most iteration, the logo or the video edit?
2 months of work, packed into one video 🎬
For the last 2 months, I've been building Captyne — a caption plugin for After Effects.
Not another one-click caption tool. This one is built by a motion designer, for motion designers — which means total customization. Every style, every animation, every detail stays in your hands.
And to celebrate the finish line, I just wrapped the promo video. Made entirely in After Effects, of course. It felt right that the plugin's first big moment was created inside the same software it lives in.
Watch it below 👇 and tell me what you think — feedback from fellow motion designers means everything right now.

The final result looks amazing.
