For this project, the challenge was to fix a poorly cropped cover art and adapt it into a high-quality vertical layout (9:16) for streaming and promotion, without losing its original essence.
The Process:
Generative Expansion (Outpainting): I took an unexpanded, tightly cropped image and used advanced AI tools to intelligently expand the landscape. This allowed the dark, moody red fields and the atmospheric sky to wrap naturally around the couple.
Refining the Aesthetic: While generative AI was used to create the base assets, the core focus was to avoid that generic, "robotic" AI look. Every element was carefully selected, blended, and fine-tuned to maintain an authentic, cinematic, and underground vibe.
The Result: A clean, organic-looking transition from "Before" to "After" that respects the artist's original vision while making it perfectly optimized for modern streaming platforms. What a joy it’s been working with Bandeiras FC! They came to us growing fast with giant flags, stadium-sized prints, and bold graphics that lit up the stands, but they felt their brand look wasn’t keeping up.
So we dove in deep: studied the market, sharpened their purpose and values, repositioned the brand, and built a visual identity that screams quality, speed, and the passion they bring to everything they do. Jerseys, business cards, digital portfolio... everything lined up perfectly.
An amazing partnership. They embraced every idea we brought with total trust. The result turned out incredible, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity!

Built a playbook and Notion-based workflow that maps one core idea across 10 content formats — reel, carousel, newsletter, TikTok, LinkedIn post, thread, story, short-form video, podcast point, and product FAQ. Created for my own workflow first, published as a product when I realised others needed it too. Available on Gumroad and Contra.
