Adobe Field Trip 2021
Adobe

Adobe Field Trip is an annual experience for families that showcases the best of Adobe creativity, culture, and community. For the second year running, we were asked to design and execute an immersive program for a remote audience across the globe. The final production was a comprehensive hybrid live action and animated show featuring bespoke illustration, animation, digital interactions, scripted sequences, and original music.

As the illustrator for Adobe Field Trip 2021, I developed 4 distinct visual settings in response to the creative direction of the project: Aqua World, Space World, Art World, and Forest World. The settings were built with a mix of digital, hand-drawn and assemblage illustration techniques for added flair and texture. We also developed a wide set of isolated creatures and objects within the settings - and even whimsical characters such as Cheebrah, a companion to our main characters inspired by a cross between a cheetah and a zebra. When applied to motion and hybrid live-action/animation design, the illustrations came to life to create dazzling world-building spaces. Adobe Field Trip 2021 has been honored with multiple industry awards for experiential and creative design.
