AI-ENHANCED CASE STUDY CHALLENGE

Directed high-volume editorial for Royal Prestige Magazine (2018–2025): food styling, recipe spreads, product integrations, and photography under tight deadlines and budget constraints.

APPROACH

Integrated Adobe Firefly as a production accelerator—supplementing traditional shoots, not replacing them.

  • Directed hero photography and styling for key images.

  • Used AI for rapid ideation and fill-in visuals (e.g., recipe variations).

  • Refined outputs in Photoshop for brand consistency, realism, and premium appeal.

  • Integrated seamlessly into InDesign layouts alongside live shots.

RESULTS

Accelerated content creation, reduced dependency on external shoots, and delivered consistent, appetizing recipe imagery that maintained premium editorial quality across high-volume issues.
