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

Atelier / Interiors — Editorial Interior Design Campaign
Atelier / Interiors is a premium 5-slide Instagram carousel concept created for a contemporary interior architecture and design studio.
The project explores warm minimalism through an editorial lens, combining photorealistic interior photography, tactile material studies, architectural details and refined typography. The goal was to create a social media campaign that feels less like a conventional Instagram template and more like a high-end architecture and interiors magazine translated into a digital format.
Creative Direction
The visual language is built around a restrained palette of warm ivory, limestone beige, natural oak, walnut and muted charcoal. Soft natural daylight, authentic material textures and subtle photographic imperfections create a warm, sophisticated and believable atmosphere.
The typography pairs an elegant high-contrast editorial serif with a clean modern sans-serif, creating a consistent visual hierarchy while maintaining strong readability across mobile screens.
Carousel Structure
01 — THE ART OF LIVING
A hero interior photograph introducing the project and establishing the campaign’s visual language.
02 — THE SPACE
A photography-led exploration of the living environment, focusing on light, proportion and quiet materiality.
03 — MATERIAL LANGUAGE
A curated material study featuring natural oak, limestone, linen, walnut and architectural details.
04 — THE DETAILS
A collection of intimate architectural photographs highlighting joinery, textiles, ceramics and lighting.
05 — DESIGNED FOR LIVING.
A final architectural composition bringing the campaign together through a simple statement about light, material and intention.
Design Approach
The entire carousel was art-directed as one cohesive visual system, maintaining consistent typography, grid structure, spacing, photography treatment and color language across all five slides.
Instead of relying on decorative graphics, the design uses negative space, proportion, materiality and typography to create a refined editorial experience.
The result is a calm, tactile and contemporary visual identity designed to feel like a premium architecture publication adapted for social media.
Deliverables: 5-slide Instagram carousel · 1080 × 1350 px · 4:5 format
Creative disciplines: Art Direction · Editorial Design · Interior Design Visualization · Typography · Social Media Design

The visual direction is Nice!
The goal was to transform a simple product photo of an empty perfume bottle on a white background into a premium fragrance concept. Using AI-assisted design, I created a complete visual identity and placed the original product into polished commercial scenes while preserving its key shape and details.
The creative direction focused on understated luxury - elegant and premium, without making the visuals feel overly ornate or artificial. This concept demonstrates how a basic product image can be transformed into high-end e-commerce and advertising content using AI.
