Le Cirque Galactique is a collaborative, immersive creative workshop where circus-in-space-themed imagination intersects with cutting-edge digital tools. This project reflects my personal exploration within that experience, blending theatrical energy, personal memory, and newly learned Adobe AI techniques into a single visual narrative.
Creative Approach & Techniques Used:
- Generative enhancements using Adobe Firefly
- Composite building and refinements in Adobe Photoshop
- Layered atmospheric design
- Integration of silhouette photography
- Color grading, lighting, and texture exploration
- Circus- and cosmos-inspired visual motifs
- Iterative workflow guided by real-time instruction
Why This Project Matters: Created Live While Learning New Adobe Tools
The significance of posting this work is that it represents what we created during the workshopitself — in real time — as we learned the newest Adobe Firefly features, advanced Photoshop techniques, and experimental workflows directly from Russell Brown and his team. This wasn’t
a polished studio project done at home.
a polished studio project done at home.
It was built:
- in the moment,
- in a room full of creatives,
- while testing the latest AI-assisted workflows,
- and while pushing ourselves to combine traditional craft with new digital capabilities.
The final poster is both a creative piece and a record of learning something new — stretching my skills with Firefly, generative fill, advanced masking, blending strategies, and multi-layer compositing approaches that were introduced throughout the workshop.
