Smarter Mockups
It started with one photo and a lot of possibilities. Using AI tools like Adobe Firefly and Photoshop, I transformed a single image into a full set of custom visuals in record time.
Making More With Less
Thanks to the power of AI, I’m able to get much more mileage out of a single image to quickly generate a full set of visual assets. When I was asked to create a series of mockup images for a website the Web Experience Manager had a previous image to use as a reference. So I started with the photo of a woman at her computer and used it as a reference for composition. Instead of searching online for something similar I decided to use Adobe Firefly to help. From there, I prompted variations like swapping the subject for a different female model or a male model, and changing the background style to fit the brand direction. To meet layout requirements, I used Photoshop’s Generative Expand to extend the image seamlessly, saving valuable production time. What would’ve taken hours to recreate manually was done in about 30 minutes, which gave me more time to focus on the design of the final mockups.

What could have taken hours instead took just maybe 30-45 minutes.
Final Adjustments
To meet final layout requirements, I used Photoshop’s Generative Expand feature to seamlessly extend the image without compromising visual quality. This tool has become an essential part of my workflow due to the significant time savings it offers. What would have previously taken hours to recreate manually such as extending detailed backgrounds or rebalancing compositions was accomplished in just a few minutes. By automating this part of the process, I was able to shift my focus toward fine tuning the design elements and enhancing the overall graphic presentation, ultimately delivering a more polished result in less time.
