Project Breakdown
Overview
Image Summary: A stylized mock advertisement inspired by the keywords “K-pop” and “monotone/duotone.” This short sequence presents the Blackpink lightstick in contrasting, theatrical environments — a gothic palace and a surreal rose garden — capturing both the boldness and elegance of K-pop visuals.
Inspiration: We aimed to reflect Blackpink’s dual identity: fierce yet feminine, bold yet refined. The royal interior emphasizes structure, symmetry, and attitude, while the rose garden brings softness and fantasy. Both scenes were driven by a strong pink-and-black duotone aesthetic, true to the group's iconic palette.
My role
I was responsible for:
Modeling and texturing the palace environment, including the ornate columns and mirrored surfaces
Designing and building the rose asset, integrating it as a natural throne for the lightstick
Contributing to lighting and composition to enhance both clarity and mood
Each environment was carefully staged to spotlight the lightstick as the hero object. Lighting played a key role — bold contrast in the palace, soft bloom in the rose garden — to guide the viewer’s attention and evoke a high-fashion, editorial look.
This project was a deep dive into environmental storytelling through stylization, where every detail — from petal curvature to reflective floors — worked in service of tone, clarity, and brand identity.
