Adobe x Bowie
—Mashup—
#AdobexBowie
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust, Adobe invites people to create
their own personas with digitised tools inspired by David Bowie ...
So here's my "Prince Ziggy" or "Prince Al' Sane",
a Ziggyfied Prince Rogers Nelson version or, if you prefer,
—a Bowie & Prince mashup— surrounded by some Adobe Bowie Toolkit Stickers.
(these selected stickers are made by Tina Touli, and HelloThisIsKae)

In addition, I tried to give some life to these stickers (originally static elements), by animating them in After Effects.
I also had fun remixing "Let's Dance"* by David Bowie by isolating the instruments and certain parts of the song while adding very Prince-ly gimmicks taken from "Let's Go Crazy".
*A song from the time of Aladdin Sane would certainly have been more logical, however I prefer the nod to the double "Let's ... " from these two authors.
The digital tools are widely available now, for free – and fans are encouraged to try out the Bowie Photoshop range,
create their own personas here, and share their designs via the #AdobexBowie. They include over 150 graphics, colour
swatches,vectors, patterns and stickers, created by Tina Touli, Kae Neskovic, Tabea Mahern and Thomas Hedger.
(I only used some patterns/stickers made by Tina Touli, and HelloThisIsKae)
