"a" is for anxiety

what initially started as an experimental session in photoshop evolved into a minimalist design that really popped off the screen at me. some fun texturing/displacement and the minimalist layout led to a lot of flexibility. brief individual notes on each slide below đź’«

hands/tongue: duplicated for background, made smart object and duplicated again. masked and color corrected sleeves to match lips. another duplicated layer as a halftone overlay for more texture/contrast

rainbow: this one has about 4 million filters. i've been obsessed with polar coordinates lately for backgrounds, overlays, etc.

clouds: nothing special here, just a simple clean look. same halftone overlay effect as previous slide

silhouette/x's: this is an ode to the original experimental piece i was working on which can be seen on my Instagram (on Feb 3)
