Adobe Glass

Event Opener

Adobe Summit in 2023 was all about glass and refined reflections. We were given a great start from the brand team. The team started designing based on Adobe's brand teaser which featured glass materials in a primarily light background.

The primary challenge was in the technical aspects of rendering glass in Redshift and keeping the look consistent. I also had to come up with a dark look that wasn't apart of the original teaser "look". I designed and animated the boards below while assisting in the composite towards the end. I used C4D and some X-Particles for the particle shot above.
