A few hours ago, I applied for a project to create a 3D anamorphic billboard video.
The client shared a reference to explain the style they were looking for.
Whether or not I get the project, I saw it as an opportunity to learn something new.
So instead of stopping at the application, I recreated my own version to understand the process, challenge myself, and push my creative skills a little further.
Every project doesn't have to end with a contract to be valuable.
Sometimes the biggest reward is walking away with a new skill and a stronger portfolio.
This is my take on the concept. I'd love to hear what you think.

Portfolio update day 7/30 : Three.js website.
Today I drafted the interactions. Removed a few sections from the layout and combined different shading variations.
The idea is to make transitions seamless but for the preview it's already enough to have not so clean transitions.
Will go polishing it now, update shading to get more realistic environment and when all these steps are ready, will manually redraw all layout to get perfect results.
My stack is pretty simple - just Blender, Claude, React Three Fiber and Figma
(and ElevenLabs on the first stage) - I think it's more than enough for perfect results.
Keep building!
Amazing work my friend! How did you record this video? Screenstudio? Also did you make all the website using Claude? Any specific IDE or direct on Terminal? I am getting used to this workflow
Last year around this time I felt that Webdesign and Branding weren't scratching my design Itch anymore, and decided I would try and take on more iOS projects.
Fast forward one year, and I've worked on more than 10 projects, most of which are live in Appstore already, and landed a gig for Freelance App Designer at BeReal in the process. The best part? I feel like I have still so much more to learn!
