Concept: "The Portfolio Glow-Up"

The Vibe: Authentic, fast-paced, and process-heavy. A "Work-In-Progress" (WIP) journey showing how I transform a basic student project into an internship-ready portfolio piece.

The Assets:

Short-Form Video (The "Evolution"):

The Hook: "My portfolio felt like a school project; let’s make it look like a career."

The Process: Quick cuts of the Adobe ecosystem in action—vectorizing a sketch in Illustrator, applying it to a realistic 3D mockup in Photoshop, and finalizing the layout in InDesign.

The Reveal: A side-by-side of the "flat" school assignment vs. the polished, multi-platform case study.

Story Static (The "Standard"):A high-res split-screen showing a "Beginner vs. Industry-Standard" workflow (e.g., disorganized layers vs. a synced CC Library).

Text Overlay: "The difference between a student and a pro is the process.

I treat Creative Cloud as an integrated ecosystem, moving fluidly between apps to maintain a professional workflow:

Photoshop: High-fidelity compositing, non-destructive photo retouching, and leveraging Generative Fill for rapid concept ideation.

Illustrator: Industry-standard vector work, including logo design, scalable iconography, and precise typography lockups.

InDesign: My primary tool for professional "packaging"—building multi-page portfolio layouts, case studies, and interactive resumes with a focus on grid systems.

Premiere Pro & After Effects: End-to-end video production. I use Premiere for rhythmic storytelling and After Effects for adding "polish" through motion graphics and UI transitions.

Adobe Express & Portfolio: Quick-turnaround social content and hosting my live, professional site to ensure career-readiness.
