Stuck Underwater
Fall 2025
Adobe Photoshop
I wanted to create an image of a girl trapped in a bubble underwater. I used patterns and gradients to achieve the effects and keep everything in harmony. The added text makes it feel almost horror like. It was a bit of a hassle trying to find the right font to make it work.

I absolutely love the colors and concept of design. The bubble looks super cool, and I like how there’s a subtle type design blending into the water. Personally, I find this piece also feels very despondent because of the imagery of the girl trapped in the bubble. Awesome work!
Nice job, the addition of the text works really well here. The font choice matches the pattern blended into the background really well. The colors in the bubble stand out really nicely from the background and create a great sense of depth.
