Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I’m looking for a designer skilled in Photoshop compositing, photo manipulation, and VFX to create an alternate version of an existing finished album artwork. The original artwork features a futuristic shipping container floating against a clean white background. I want to make it look like one side of the container has violently exploded open and the material/energy inside is breaking containment. Creative Direction The explosion should combine: Realistic physical destruction — torn/bent metal, container fragments, debris, sparks, smoke, dust, etc. Digital/datamosh energy — glitch fragments, RGB distortion, pixels, corrupted data, digital artifacts, neon blue/pink/yellow energy. The physical explosion and digital glitch should feel integrated together, almost like something digital is physically escaping into the real world. Directionally, the explosion should blast outward from one side of the container, creating a strong sense of movement. Think: industrial explosion + containment breach + corrupted digital energy escaping. Important The original artwork/design is already finished. I do NOT want the container redesigned or the overall artwork recreated. The goal is to preserve the existing typography, branding, composition, colors, and design as much as possible and convincingly composite the explosion/glitch effects into it. 3000x3000PX REQUIRED I’ll provide: Original high-resolution artwork AI-generated concept/reference images showing the direction Any additional brand assets needed Deliverable One high-resolution final composite, plus the layered Photoshop/working file. Looking for someone particularly strong in realistic Photoshop compositing, destruction/explosion VFX, and experimental digital/glitch aesthetics. Example attached.
