I’m pretty new to this kind of editing (and only consider myself amateur)

I usually do minimal retouching when I’m taking product photos so this was a nice challenge

The same door but one side is open, revealing the stained glass window at the back of the church. A photo of the altar and back of the church. Stained glass windows with biblical depictions.

Because AI is so rampant in the social media management space, I make a conscious effort to completely avoid using it in my creative process.

My approach to social media is getting personally stuck in the process of content creation, even if that means more time and effort is required
Image shows a picture of two jars sitting on a wooden table, with a damask wallpaper in the background. One is empty and labelled “swear jar” while the other is full of coins and says “Times I avoided using ai”.

Can you tell I’m playing through Zelda Ocarina Of Time at the moment? I always love the item designs in Zelda so this was a nice exercise on composition. 🗡️

I created these spooky gradient landscapes and want to know if anyone can think of an aesthetic for them? 🪦⛪️

I think that the crumpled paper texture really adds something to them, I’ll definitely be doing more of that in future designs.

#GothicArt #GraphicDesign #SmallBusinessMarketing
An image depicting a church on a hill, with graves around it. The colour palette is purple and pink with a gradient in various directions to add depth. An image depicting a full moon, stars and clouds. The colour palette is purple and pink with a gradient in various directions to add depth. A scene depicting an open coffin with a skeleton peeking out of it. To the right is a gravestone with a hole where the grave should be. In the background is a fence and entrance to the cemetery.

Product backgrounds don’t have to be complicated! Make easy backgrounds digitally using the warp and with different blend modes. I used Affinity Designer but this works on a variety of different apps too. 🪄

Which one is your favourite?

#SocialMediaMarketing #DigitalArt
A warped grid with a red background, light blue and grey squares over the top of it. A distorted spiral and checkered grid. It features green, black, red, blue and purple, with different overlapping parts. Abstract art with dark blue, bright blue and navy. There is a blue column in the middle, with waves in the background. A checkered distorted grid with yellow and red squares.

Being a business owner doesn’t mean you have to do all your own social media marketing! In fact, it’s very difficult to do so without being majorly overwhelmed.

That’s why my formula as a social media manager is a perfect mixture of content creation and account management. 📸
