Designed 3 posters for a local bar's Sunday jam nights, with Envato as my toolkit. šøš¤
Envato gave me hero images, background texture, and animated video. But none of it works on its own. Someone still has to make the calls.
Human by Design: AI got me fast raw material. Making it feel like this bar took real decisions - recoloring and chroma-keying a stock video before animating, chasing a grimy texture over a clean AI render, picking one generated scene out of several for its energy - then building the composition and type myself.
Toolkit: @Envato Elements, Envato AI, After Effects, Illustrator.
this is awesome dina!! love the designs
Are you looking for a dub and edit ? Maybe you can open a job.
A high-retention short-form edit created for an executive coach and public speaker. The objective was to transform a standard talking-head recording into an engaging, multi-layered social clip for LinkedIn and Instagram Reels without feeling cluttered or over-edited.
What was done in post-production:
Pacing & Audio Smoothing: Trimmed silent pauses and leveled spoken audio against an understated, inspiring background track.
Card-Style B-Roll Integration: Designed custom rounded-corner video overlays to highlight key speaking points and maintain visual rhythm.
Typography & Captions: Built bold, synchronized text overlays mapped precisely to the speaker's cadence for silent-scrolling retention.
Great video presentation. Keeps the users attention span in the video for sure. Great work!
