Is it Mood-board 01 or Mood-board 02!
Which mood-board do you think the client selected?

Going with 01, it feels tighter and more intentional while 02 reads a little busy. Clients usually pick the one that looks safe to sign off on, and 01 has that calm confidence. Curious to hear which one won.
I designed a professional, high-converting short-form video advertisement in the standard Instagram Reel format (9:16 vertical layout). The primary goal of this marketing project was to instantly capture the viewer's attention within the first three seconds and drive maximum brand awareness for a premium skincare brand. The entire concept is built around a powerful and engaging 'Before vs After' visual transformation trend.In this project, I took raw and unedited product footage
(Page 2) and added a clear 'Before' tag to build intrigue. Then, using advanced styling techniques within Canva, I smoothly transitioned into a polished, high-contrast, and bright aesthetic image
(Page 3) labeled with a clear 'After' tag to highlight premium product quality. The ad starts with a compelling marketing hook text to retain social media users and concludes with a clean, minimalist 'Call to Action' slide to guide potential customers toward the final purchase. This project fully highlights my strategic approach to social media advertising, layout composition, typography balance, and video editing using Canva.
Great use of the before and after format. The hook and CTA make the ad feel purposeful.
