Love both! The first one is clean and polished but the Meadows one just adds more personality to it and I think it fits the idea of “sparking attention” really well
I started with a simple product image and wanted to see how far I could push it without losing what makes the phone feel real.
I worked on the visual direction, composition, lighting, reflections, color balance, depth, and fine details. I also used Adobe Illustrator to refine the graphic elements and bring the overall composition together.
The real challenge wasn’t adding more effects.
It was finding the right balance between technology and human creativity — keeping the phone authentic while giving the image a stronger personality.
