For a project to raise awareness about the melting ice caps, I created a melting skull design. Using ice cubes, paint, and a touch of Photoshop, I crafted the effect of a skull dissolving. For the typography, I painted the words with watercolor and achieved a dripping effect by blowing the paint vertically on paper. In Photoshop, I enhanced the design with a warm gradient to add tension and intentionally blurred the text as it descended, creating the illusion of heat. Below, you can see more of my process broken down.
