Imaginary Scenes

A Personal Exploration of Masking & Composition.

Creativity thrives in experimentation, and Imaginary Scenes was a deep dive into the art of masking, composition, and surreal digital storytelling. As part of a design class with Pro Church Media and Joe Cavazos, this personal project pushed the boundaries of layered visuals and imaginative landscapes.

The Challenge

This assignment was an opportunity to refine advanced masking techniques and composition strategies, blending multiple elements to create seamless, dreamlike imagery. The goal was to craft six distinct pieces that combined real-world photography with surreal, imaginative elements—challenging both technical precision and creative storytelling.

Solution

Through a meticulous process of layering, blending, and compositional balance, each piece was designed to transport viewers into an alternate reality. The use of light, texture, and depth played a key role in making these imaginary scenes feel immersive and visually compelling. By experimenting with contrast, scale, and atmosphere, this project became more than just a technical exercise—it was a creative exploration of how visuals can evoke emotion and intrigue.

The result is a collection of six unique surreal compositions, each one a study in visual storytelling and digital craftsmanship. This project not only refined technical skills but also reinforced the idea that great design isn’t just about technique—it’s about bringing imagination to life.
