For my #EnvatoChallenge I made a social reel called People. Every stranger you pass is living a life as full and complicated as your own. You just never get to see it.

That was the whole starting point. You catch a half-second of someone and your brain files them as an extra in your movie, while they're the main character of theirs, with a whole thing going on you'll never know about.

So I tried to make something that sits in that feeling. No story line, but just a reminder that everyone's got one. I used Envato for music, images and videos starting with stock images that I got inspired by and used as references and to expand ideas from those. I believe the main human by design call I had to make was not only the final edit, but prompting for "imperfect" generations. AI is trained to give the perfect image every time, centered angles, equal proportions, bright colors. I tried the complete opposite while still trying to make it look like a complete social reel.

You've done an amazing job.

I built an amber glass beauty campaign for the Envato Human by Design Challenge.

I started with a concept and a moodboard: warm, honeyed light, skin and jewelry glowing in gold. Then I went into Envato Elements. From Photos, I picked amber glass and honey textures. From Fonts, I chose Royalford and Garolia. I skipped anything too metallic, I wanted glass, not chrome.

Next, I generated my images with Midjourney. My first results looked warm, but generic, just a sunset filter. That was my human moment. I knew it wasn't right, so I changed my prompt. I asked for light passing through glass, in stripes, onto skin. That gave me the image that actually worked.

I brought my favorite images into Photoshop. I layered the Envato textures on top, added my Envato font, Royalford, as the campaign titles, and built each image like a real campaign page.

For the final video, I used Kling to bring the stills to life, then edited everything together in Adobe Premiere Pro, scored with Music from Envato, "Golden Hour" by Bransboynd.

This is a very creative approach! I especially liked the way your scenes connect together. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in future challenges.
