About Full Moon Social Ad
Full Moon is a social media advertisement created for Guinness. The visual was published in Facebook and Instagram feeds and stories on Halloween night in 2020, when a rare blue moon was visible around the world. The image was produced through retouching and photo manipulation in Adobe Photoshop. High resolution moon references, brand images and beer textures were combined in layers to form a single picture. The intention was to join a global conversation with a simple link between the moon and a glass of beer.

- The biggest challenge involved retouching and photo manipulation to find the right visual balance. This was achieved on Photoshop by combining different layers with images from the archive and brand assets like the creamy foam photography.
- Research
- Using the visual database from websites like Google and Nasa, a vast image research was made and a rich archive was created to be used as reference while developing the project. Then these images were combined and compared with brand assets to create the final visual.
