The goal
To explore the everyday rituals that bring comfort and calm, focusing on simple, mindful moments enjoyed with a favourite warm drink.
The Strategy & Challenge
Created as a final project for an Advanced Photoshop Course, All Alike translates daily coffee, tea, and matcha rituals into clean, rhythmic movement.
The challenge was balancing individual asset motion—like swirling steam, dipping teabags, and whisking matcha—with an overall relaxed, contemplative pace, while achieving a textured, hand-crafted feel entirely within Photoshop.
Execution & Workflow
Digital Asset Design: Illustrated the individual element (coffee cup, tea mug with Earl Grey tag, and matcha whisk & bow) in Adobe Photoshop using custom textured brushes.
Layered Composition: Structured each element on separate layers to manage motion, natural loops, and precise timing for each drink ritual.
Frame-by-Frame Motion: Animated each sequence entirely in Photoshop using standard frame-by-frame animation tools to give the loops an authentic, hand-crafted aesthetic.
Final Export: Rendered the completed frame-by-frame loops directly from Photoshop
