HUMAN BY DESIGN β 12 Posters, One Human Behind Them π¨
For the #envatochallenge, I didn't want to just illustrate the brief I wanted to live it. So this ended up as two chapters, 12 posters total, all built on Envato stock assets, with every final call style, crop, what got killed, what got pushed further made by hand.
πΉ Chapter 1 β Human By Design (5 abstract posters)
Where it started. No theme yet, just the phrase itself as subject testing tone, type, and how far I could push "Human By Design" as a visual idea before it needed a story.
β Pure typography, no narrative just exploring the phrase
β 5 distinct directions, same DNA
β The set that made me stop and ask "okay, but what's this about?"
πΉChapter 2 β The Life & Death Cycle (7 posters)
After 4 coffees and 2 cigarettes too many, the theme showed up. Seven stages, one poster each:
β π± Birth β
β π Play β
β β€οΈ Love β
β π₯ Pain β
β π οΈ Work β
β π Fun β
β ποΈ Death β
The human part π§
Minimal AI on this one, Envato assets and me deciding what worked, what didn't, and when to stop touching things (harder than it sounds).
Huge thanks to @Envato for the tools and the 1 month free sub, and @Contra for the space to put this out there π

β¨ Introducing DERMA LUMA β my submission for the Contra Γ Envato Human By Design Challenge.
A skincare brand concept for Gen Z and Millennials, built on one simple idea: skincare should feel personal, fun, and expressive.
From the brand identity, packaging, and campaign visuals to motion design, every detail was crafted to blend human creativity with modern AI-powered workflowsβwhile keeping emotion, intention, and storytelling at the center.
For me, Human By Design means using technology to create better ideas, not replace the creative process.
π DERMA LUMA β Make It Fun. Make It Personal.
If you enjoyed the project, I'd love your support with a like, a comment, and an UpGoat! πβ¨
