𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 / 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆:
Skincare Brand ( Mock Company)
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗱:
The skincare brand needed a compelling UGC ad that would resonate with its target audience and drive product purchases. Previous ads lacked emotional connection and didn’t focus on real customer pain points, leaving the content uninspiring and ineffective in generating conversions.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 I 𝗗𝗶𝗱 ( 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗯𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽):
1 . Created a 30-second UGC-style ad focusing on a relatable skin problem (e.g., acne, uneven skin tone).
2 . Stripped the messaging down to its essentials: a real problem → a believable solution → a desirable result.
3 . Used simple, relatable visuals and clear messaging to show how the product genuinely helped improve skin conditions without over-promising.
4 . Ensured the tone was honest and direct, focusing on clarity and emotional appeal.
5 . Created a strong call to action for e-commerce brands looking to improve ad creatives and drive conversions.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁 :
The video ad showed a significant improvement in engagement, with higher click-through rates than previous campaigns.
Increased conversion rates on the product page, directly influenced by the relatable ad structure and clear messaging.
The brand saw improved brand perception as customers connected more deeply with the product’s effectiveness.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁 :
This project demonstrates my ability to create ads that not only engage but convert. By stripping away unnecessary fluff and focusing on the real needs of the customer, I helped the brand deliver a message that felt authentic, resonated with the target audience, and ultimately led to more sales.

Lately I've recognized this direction on the rise and been inspired to create a collection of 18 images blending the Classical Art - Renaissance oil painting mastery with digital pixel/ASCII aesthetics, Classcii. It is a mix of centuries, a modernized and futuristic direction of the classic.
Each image is crafted around a specific tension, the classical figure or scene rendered in full oil mastery, while the digital/ASCII layer intrudes at a specific point.
Using the @Contra Labs ecosystem to choose the most adequate Ai models from the Creative Arena Leaderboard, I wanted to briefly share my personal taste and evaluation on the outputs these models generated, based on the benhchmark methodology.
For the imagery references I used Seedream 5 Lite and Google Nano Banana 2, whereas for the Image to Video I used Kling 3.0 and Veo 3.1 Fast.
In terms of Visual quality & aesthetics overall I would rank them fairly simillar with Seedream having a slight edge on the composition, specfically achieving more symmetrical outcomes featuring center alignment and a better use of whitespace, opposed to Nano Banana 2 where the use of rule of thirds is more prominent, making it visually in comparison less balanced.
Considering the Prompt adherence & accuracy, I find both models very much aligned, having Nano Banana 2 more intensified use of asscii / pixels across all outcomes, which according to my minimal taste I would rank this a weakness rather than a strong side.
Finally, in terms of Motion Realism I would unanimously rank Kling 3.0 as the better option here, considering the fluidness and physics consistency among majority of the elements in the reference. Additional advantage will be the ability to perform better at no prompt insertion compared to Veo 3.1 fast.

Super work
What if you could give a child’s drawing back as a real memory?
My little brother made me this drawing.
Like most drawings, it could’ve ended up forgotten- in a drawer, on a shelf, or lost over time.
But I kept thinking:
How do you give something back to a child that actually matters?
Not just a “thank you.”
Not just keeping it.
Something they can feel.
So I built a FLORA Technique that turns a child’s drawing into a living, cinematic moment, without changing the drawing itself.
The exact same lines.
The same colors.
The same imperfections.
But now:
– the sun glows
– the butterfly moves
– the balloons float
– the paper breathes with life
It becomes something real.
Something you can give back.
Something they can watch forever.
Keep.
Remember.
Because maybe the most powerful thing you can give back…
is showing them their imagination matters.
Built with FLORA.

Here’s the workflow
Image → Text
I first analyzed the drawing and translated it into a detailed scene description, keeping every element exactly as it is.
Image → Video
Then I animated the original image itself, no redesign, no changes. Just bringing the exact drawing to life with...
Dark. Precise. Built for momentum.
Pacer is a full brand identity system designed for a modern SaaS product that communicates speed, focus, and technical confidence through atmosphere rather than complexity.
The visual language is built on deep contrast near-black backgrounds fractured by cold teal light bleeds and subtle film-grain texture that gives the brand physical weight. The custom logotype uses a geometric "P" mark with architectural cutouts, making the letterform itself feel engineered rather than simply styled.
The in-hand phone mockup captures the brand in its most honest : a glowing teal splash screen held casually, lit dramatically, and grounded in real context. No floating devices on white backgrounds. The product feels alive.
What's included in this project:
- Custom wordmark & logomark
- Dark background brand reveal visual
- Product mockup photography direction
- Color system: deep black, teal gradient, off-white
- Grain texture & light bleed treatment
Built for:
SaaS startups, productivity tools, and performance-driven tech brands that want an identity with edge one that feels as fast as the product it represents.
