Brand exploration: Flash-realism x Editorial x Y2K style ✨
This was for a pimple patch brand and I did it with Seedream 5 Pro, using Magnific AI.
Note: Had to edit the patches because it would always come out super big 😭
You can get all the prompts I used here!
What do you think?
Hanna Amazing Work😍
Thank you sm Salman! (Is that bad that I think of the actor when I read your name hahaha)
Hahaha, not at all! 😂 I get that a lot. the only thing we have in common is the name I spend my time debugging websites instead of entertaining millions. 😄
Incredible result. The 'Base Prompt' strategy is a massive time saver for consistency. I really appreciate you providing transparency into your workflow. It’s incredibly insightful to see how you structure these for different subjects. It feels a lot like building a web project,...
Thanks for your comment Edward! And yes its very similar to the process of building a web project indeed! Nice analogy haha 🤝
The lighting and skin texture here genuinely reads as shot-on-film, I had to double check these were AI. That patches-coming-out-oversized bug is funny, did fixing it end up being a prompt tweak or manual editing per image?
Thanks for your comment! Edited them on photoshop! Maybe I couldve use a built-in functionnality to edit through the tool (Magnific AI) itself but ugh I'm too old for this 💀
This is so nicee
Thanks sm Shariar!
Flash realism meets Y2K for a pimple patch brand is such a specific and committed direction, and it completely works. The casting and energy in these shots make it feel like a real campaign rather than a prompt test.
This was my goal!! thank you so much!
The images look so real, good generations hanna
Thank you Mariyam 😍
Grate work
This deserves more than just liking, this deserves to be featured! 🏆 That editorial aesthetic would translate beautifully into a high-end web layout.
You can upgoat it in the meantime 👀 haha thanks!
This is so nice
The flash photography look sells the Y2K reference way more convincingly than a filter would, that slightly overexposed skin and hard shadow is such a specific era signal. Smart to flag the patch sizing issue too, that's the kind of thing that would've slipped through if you were just picking the prettiest generation.
Yeah also cause flash doesn't forgive any skin imperfection haha. And yes AI gen is not perfect!!
This looks clean and well thought out. How long did it take you to bring everything together?
About 2 hours (taking my time and do 567163 other things in the meantime 😂)
ohh great😂
This looks amazing!! Great work and thanks for sharing your prompts :)
You're very welcome, use them well!!!
Look clean!
Thanks sm Abdulazeez!!
you nailed it
I really like Art Direction here
It looks beautiful

Exploring imagination through texture, typography and skincare. ✨
For THÉRAPEAU, I wanted to push the visual identity beyond packaging and explore how serum, gel and cream could become part of the brand language itself.
Using the core wordmark as a starting point, I experimented with different materials, colours and tactile expressions — turning skincare textures into typography and visual studies.
These explorations were created together with ChatGPT as part of the creative process, helping me test ideas quickly while keeping the final brand direction grounded in my own identity system and design decisions.
A small study in how texture can become communication. 💧
#ChatGPT #AIinDesign #Branding #VisualIdentity #SkincareBranding
Letting the wordmark turn into the material itself is a strong idea. Did you set a limit for how far a texture can distort the letters before it stops reading as THÉRAPEAU?
New Case Study: E-commerce Copywriting & Visual Direction for Vitalind ✨
A minimalist, editorial slide deck designed for a luxury skincare brand.
Focus areas:

• Premium aesthetic layout for e-commerce
Looking for custom copywriting & editorial visuals for your brand? Let’s collaborate!
We transformed the Scanr.ai brand identity into a bold, modern visual experience through 3D logo animation, abstract motion design, and cinematic lighting. Using a striking blue and violet color palette, we created a sequence of sculptural forms, smooth camera movements, and dynamic transitions that build curiosity before revealing the brand logo.
The creative approach combines 3D motion graphics, glossy materials, atmospheric lighting, depth, and rhythm-driven animation to give the logo a distinctive digital presence. From immersive close-up shots of abstract 3D shapes to the final logo reveal, every scene was designed to create visual continuity and reinforce the brand’s modern, technology-focused identity.
The result is a sleek and memorable brand animation that blends creativity with precision ideal for digital branding, website introductions, product launches, and social media presentations.
