From Portfolio:

My aim with this collection of digital composite images was to explore some of the difficult emotions and insecurities caused by the current sociopolitical climate, as well as the struggles of being an artist living in such an environment. I focused on conveying these concepts through the use of color and surreal imagery.

I'm not going to lie, I really struggled with this one. The number of images might have been too much for me, and I suffered from constant technical issues with both Photoshop and InDesign, but I tried to put as much effort as I could into making the ones I did complete cohesive and well constructed.

Under The influence - Kimberly B

This is 8 images from a series that I am going to keep working on that reflects the various ways that grief is felt and seen from my own personal perspective.

Everything in each image has personal meaning and significance to me but is open enough to be understood or at least can be potentially relatable to someone experiencing the loss of a loved one.

I hope to expand on this narrative by not only adding additional composites to the set but also exploring different ways to visualize the emotional effects my mother’s passing has had on me.

Final note: The last image intentionally deviates from the rest by driving the focus up towards the white in an attempt to see the light rather than the darkness. In addition, this image as well as the first are also the only two without water.

I hope to have a total of 12 completed as a personal project.

Under the Influence - Ashley Dinning

Inspired by Beeple’s use of bright, saturated colors, floating elements, and making small things appear large, I created composite images that feature my dog, Arya, as the subject. I reimagined her in a surreal way, making her larger than life and placing her in bold, vibrant settings. Using Beeple’s techniques as inspiration, I focused on creating a playful and whimsical feel that celebrates Arya in an extraordinary way.

Fashion Meets Digital Compositing: Creating Motion to Evoke Emotion

In this series, I embraced a fashion-focused approach to design, weaving together dynamic poses, bold shapes, layered textures, and striking effects to craft visuals that resonate with both movement and meaning. My aim was to infuse each composition with a sense of motion, evoking emotion and inspiring viewers in the same way this creative journey inspired me.

I found immense fulfillment in constructing imagery that told compelling stories, blending artistic expression with narrative depth. The compositions were deeply influenced by the innovative work of Henry Flores, an Ecuadorian artist, and graphic designer known for his ability to merge abstract and organic elements through vibrant colors and captivating shapes. His mastery of crafting visually appealing series encouraged me to experiment and integrate my own vision into his design philosophy.

Through this project, I sought to reimagine and reinterpret Flores’ techniques, creating my own approach to digital compositing that pushes boundaries and redefines the possibilities of design. This process has not only deepened my passion for digital compositing but also strengthened my resolve to explore its creative potential further. I look forward to evolving my skills, uncovering new ideas, and revolutionizing how design can shape and inspire the world of fashion imagery.

Under the Influence Final-Sara Aftimos

I was inspired by Ozan Karakoc for my final portfolio, paying particular attention to his use of vivid colors, intriguing textures, and space. By combining natural elements with portraits and adjusting the elements' placement and contrast, I tried to imitate his digital compositing technique. In order to experiment with various compositions and colorful settings, I used a combination of my own photographs to create my compositions.
