ABSTRACT IDENTITY

Design → Press → Keep

Student-created abstract character artwork designed in Adobe Photoshop for a custom sublimation tumbler.

Students transformed meaningful subjects—including self-portraits, favorite characters, and personal interests—into original abstract compositions using Adobe Photoshop. By combining digital illustration, photo manipulation, textures, typography, blending modes, and creative design techniques, they developed personalized artwork that was prepared for dye-sublimation printing onto custom products, connecting artistic expression with real-world design.
