When Adobe wanted to collaborate with Tierra Whack, I immediately thought, “Let’s get weird!” The task was to combine live action footage of Tierra with an animated world representing her unique visual aesthetic - and that got me buzzing with excitement. I brainstormed lists, made sketches, made bigger lists, made more sketches, and then began to sculpt what her world would look like inside of Adobe Creative Cloud.
Using a blank Adobe canvas as our starting point, we crafted a story that bursts to life as Tierra describes her creative process. In developing the world, I wanted everything from the characters to the objects to be “W” themed, on-brand for Tierra Whack. In the end, the entire process from start to finish was as fun and exciting as the campaign itself.
