Project Overview: We’re launching a monthly Photoshop (Beta) splash screen spotlight and we want to invite members of the Photoshop community to submit artwork to be featured for about one month at a time. The artist (you!) will also have the chance to be featured on Adobe's social channels. The splash screen is the first thing users see when they launch Photoshop, so it’s a high visibility placement. This allows us to celebrate your work while also providing fresh content for the Photoshop (Beta) app splash screen. Submissions for splash screen consideration should follow the guidelines below. Images should: -Be your original creation (own or have rights to everything in the image). -Represent the core value prop of Photoshop which is to empower people to be able to create anything they can imagine – illustrate the depth and breadth of what’s possible with Photoshop – this means images should be a combination of photos and graphics that are composited together using layers resulting in an image uniquely done in Photoshop. -Images should inspire users, by being high quality, professional level outputs. -Appeal to a global audience. Avoid anything that is too narrow or with distinct regional meaning which may be confusing or alienating to people. -Avoid topics or content that may have or imply negative connotations to a subset of users. -No text or copy in the image. IMPORTANT --- Images can be made using generative AI or AI sparingly, but should be 80%+ an original asset. Ultimately we want to be able to showcase images that we can confidently say are people's original creations created using Photoshop, and not completely created using AI. Target Audience: Seasoned creative professionals, tech forward, engaged photoshop users, pp and coming creative professionals Required deliverable from artist: -1500 × 666 PNG (plus layered PSD optional but recommended for safe edits) -Filename: FirstLast-Title.png -No text, no logos, globally appropriate, no sensitive/negative topics -Original work only; AI allowed sparingly (creator confirms 80%+ original assets + discloses use)

OVERVIEW We’re looking a freelance graphic/motion designer to create 3 animated title sequences. These titles should be reminiscent of movie-like sequences, each representing a distinct world within its own visual universe. Each sequence should loop continuously. We’re looking for these titles: 1. "Work with Adobe" 2. "Adobe Creative Apprenticeship" 3. "What's Your Inspiration?" SCOPE Your responsibilities will include: - Creating a mini PDF document for each concept, incorporating a few references or storyboards. - Compiling all elements into a cohesive piece using After Effects. - Conducting 1-2 rounds of revisions based on feedback. - Maintaining clear communication to ensure alignment. - Delivering the final assets in the required formats and sizes. TARGET AUDIENCE Our target audience consists of students and the next generation of creative professionals! They are aspiring graphic designers, illustrators, photographers, videographers, creative directors, animators, etc. THEME & DIRECTION Please explore movie title sequences, think Saul Bass, Pablo Ferro etc. While you have the freedom to visualise each series in your own unique way, here are a few suggestions: - "Work with Adobe": Consider a type-heavy approach. - "Adobe Creative Apprenticeship”: Incorporate ‘open source’ video/imagery mixed with type. - "What's Your Inspiration?": Explore illustrative motifs, possibly incorporating 3D icons alongside type. The world is your oyster! Feel free to experiment with gradients, blurs, 3D effects, pixel art, and more. We’ve attached a few references to inspire your creative process. GUIDELINES While you have creative freedom with this project, we do have a few important requests: - Ensure that all text is legible and clear. - Final assets should be delivered in 16x9 (1920x1080) .mp4 format. - The animations should loop. Each sequence should last around 8-10secs, and the final videos should be approximately 3 minutes each (looped 10-15 times). - No profanity or inappropriate content is allowed. - Use bold and optimistic colours. PROCESS/TIMELINE - Kickoff call - Send initial concept directions for review - Feedback round 1 - Feedback round 2 - Final revisions and asset delivery BUDGET $ - This includes all creative work, file exports, revisions, and communication. Payment will be made upon final delivery of approved assets. HUMAN-MADE CREATIVITY We love seeing original, human-made creativity shine through in all commissioned work created with Adobe tools. While generative AI can be a helpful part of the creative process, it should only play a supporting role—unless the project brief specifically says otherwise. All AI-assisted elements must be transparently disclosed. CREATIVE DIRECTOR Apply to this project for an opportunity to work with Marija Marc (@marijamarc)!

*3 artists will be selected to work on this poster series OVERVIEW This poster series will explore emotions that are difficult to define, explain, or fully articulate. Inspired by invented emotional vocabulary words like sonder and vellichor. Each selected artist for this project will develop an original emotion concept, give it a name and definition, and visually interpret it through an abstract or conceptual poster design. The series is centered around emotional nuance, visual experimentation, and storytelling through design. While each poster should stand strongly on its own, the final collection should feel cohesive as a unified series — connected through tone, typography, composition, pacing, or visual language while still allowing room for individual creative expression. The work should feel thoughtful, contemporary, emotionally intelligent, and visually immersive. The goal is to create designs that evoke a feeling first, and explain it second. TARGET AUDIENCE - Next generation creatives and emerging artists - Creative professionals across disciplines - Audiences interested in conceptual design and emotional storytelling - People drawn to introspection, experimental visuals, and culture-driven creative work THEME “Feelings That Don’t Have Names Yet”: Each poster in the series should invent and explore a fictional emotional term — a feeling, tension, or emotional state that feels familiar but difficult to describe in existing language. The emotion can explore themes such as: - Digital-era loneliness - Nostalgia for places never visited - Creative burnout - Hyper-awareness of time passing - Emotional disconnect despite constant connection - The tension between ambition and exhaustion - The feeling of becoming a different version of yourself The visual direction should lean conceptual, atmospheric, surreal, typographic, abstract, or emotionally evocative. Artists are encouraged to prioritize mood, symbolism, and emotional resonance over literal interpretation. REQUIREMENTS While artists are encouraged to bring their own perspective and visual style to the project, please keep the following guidelines in mind: - Please use only Adobe tools throughout the creative process - No profanity, explicit, or inappropriate content - The final poster should feel intentional, visually compelling, and emotionally cohesive - Posters should balance individuality while still feeling connected through the series - Final artwork must be designed at 24” x 36” print dimensions and should remain legible when scaled down for a limited 11” x 17” print run - Posters will be digitally printed in full color Each poster should include: - An abstract or conceptual visual interpretation of the emotion - The Adobe Creative Apprenticeship lockup and an artist callout (name + Instagram handle) at the bottom of the poster. Important notes: - Artwork must be original and created by the submitting artist. - Please confirm copy is approved with your Creative Director before final delivery. HUMAN-MADE CREATIVITY We love seeing original, human-made creativity shine. While generative AI can support your process, your unique artistic voice should be front and center. If you use any AI-assisted elements, please clearly indicate where and how they were used.
