I’d create a “Student Project to Portfolio-Ready” glow-up concept that follows one real assignment from start to finish. The short-form video would show quick, honest clips of my process using Lightroom and Premiere Pro, starting with the raw, unpolished version of a project, then cutting to learning moments like color grading, refining edits, and fixing mistakes, and ending with the final, professional-looking result that’s actually portfolio-worthy. The story-style static asset would highlight before-and-after frames with short captions explaining what changed and why it matters in a real creative industry context. The focus would be on showing that Creative Cloud isn’t just school software, it’s the same tools professionals use, and that learning how to use them now directly prepares you for internships, clients, and creative careers, all told in a relatable, student-led way that feels honest, motivating, and social-native rather than polished or promotional.

I have the most experience with Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Premiere Pro, which I use regularly for content creation. In Lightroom, I focus on photo editing and color correction, creating consistent looks and presets, and enhancing images while keeping them natural and clean. In Premiere Pro, I edit both short-form and long-form video content, including cutting footage, syncing audio, adding captions, transitions, and exporting optimized formats for different platforms.
