Soccer/Football Edits

Soccer/Football Edits Digital Illustration + Compositing + Branding Exploration Project Overview: A collection of experimental digital edits themed around professional footballers from AC Milan. This series blends photo manipulation, digital illustration, and creative branding to highlight player strengths through exaggerated, character-driven poster designs. Objective: To create stylized, social-media-ready promotional posters that bring player nicknames and playing styles to life through visual storytelling. The aim was to make content that feels engaging to fans while pushing creative experimentation in digital sports media. Roles & Skills Applied: Concept Development: Researched player attributes, nicknames, and fan culture to develop exaggerated poster themes. Storyboarded visual concepts to fit each player’s persona (e.g., power, speed, agility, magic). Photo Manipulation & Compositing: Extracted and blended multiple images using Adobe Photoshop. Integrated real-life textures (stadiums, savannah, magic sparkles, etc.) with player imagery. Applied lighting, shading, and atmospheric effects to unify elements. Typography & Branding: Developed themed typography treatments to match each player's concept (military, magic, nature). Maintained AC Milan’s brand presence through color palette and badge placement. Digital Illustration & Detailing: Enhanced motion effects with digital smoke, sparks, and trails to convey action. Incorporated props (tank, magician outfit, cheetah) through detailed cutout work and effects. Software Used: Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator (for typography layout and title elements) Deliverables: 3 high-resolution, print-ready poster designs Optimized versions for web and social media sharing
