Cover image for Strategic branding for the haya-
Strategic branding for the haya- A clothing brand!!! Yehhhh, successfully completed the strategic branding for the haya brand. Lemme express some feelings while designing the haya brand. I'm always scared to design a logo for any brand, but it was my first time to gather the strength to design this logo and it's branding I feel both stuck and scared when it comes to design a logo. Like, when i was attending a logo design class, i didn't understand what actually logo design is, but from the beginning of the design journey, i was always curious to how to design a purposeful logo Now, am learning how to design a logo which is able to speak for it's brand without any hesitations. Tbh, am too lazy to do some design work but now, i changed. now, i just wanna stay consistent and learn new skills, which helps me to grow. Btw, drop your comments and lemme know, about your opinions towards my design. See the full branding here https://lnkd.in/e9UZgRnD

Cover image for Designed The Haya’s identity
and it
Designed The Haya’s identity and it changes the way modest fashion speaks. I’m thrilled to share that the visual identity for 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝘆𝗮 is almost ready. As the designer behind this brand, I focused on clean, purposeful forms and a refined minimal palette that lets dignity and modernity coexist. Why this matters: → The logo is soft yet memorable a mark that belongs on store fronts, social feeds, and hang tags. → Every element was chosen to support versatile storytelling: editorial imagery, product labels, and digital-first experiences. → The design bridges tradition and contemporary living so the brand can scale confidently across markets. I’ll be sharing the logo reveal, process sketches, color systems, and mockups soon Perfect if you’re building a brand that needs quiet strength and visual clarity. Follow for the big reveal and behind-the-scenes design notes. Designers, brand founders, and modest-fashion lovers. stay tuned.

Cover image for You spent 3 hours on
You spent 3 hours on that design. Your audience spent 3 seconds on it. And in those 3 seconds, their eyes never even landed on your CTA. Here is the uncomfortable 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 most 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 and 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 ignore. You are designing based on what looks 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂. Not based on where 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀 actually go. Then, Lemme tell you something! 🙃 You place your headline in the center because it feels balanced. You drop your CTA in the bottom-right because that is where it fits. You fill the top of your carousel with a logo instead of a hook. Meanwhile, your viewer's brain already decided to scroll past. The hot zone on any design is the top-left and center. That is where eyes land first. Every single time. If your most important message is not sitting there, it is invisible. The bottom-right corner? That is the dead zone. Almost nobody looks there. And that is exactly where most people put their call to action. Here is the 3-second rule I follow for every design now. 1. Hot zone gets the 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲. Top-left and center. No exceptions. 2. 𝗛𝗼𝗼𝗸 first on carousels. The 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝟮𝟬% of your slide gets 𝟴𝟬% of attention. 3. Move the 𝗖𝗧𝗔 𝘂𝗽. If it is in the bottom corner, it does not exist. 4. Banner 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 is real. The far-right edge of your LinkedIn banner gets almost zero eyes. 5. The warm middle earns the proof. After the hook lands, eyes drift to center body. Put your strongest point there. Stop designing for 𝗮𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀. Start designing for 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Save this infographic. Send it to someone whose CTA is sitting in a dead zone right now.

Cover image for Stop calling it just a
Stop calling it just a nice design. Every design choice your designer makes has a reason. You just never asked why. Here is what is really going on. You see nice colors. Your designer sees brand recall built into every post. You see a cool font. Your designer sees a hierarchy system that controls where eyes land first. You see a pretty picture. Your designer sees storytelling that triggers emotion in under 2 seconds. You see a clean look. Your designer sees whitespace engineered to guide attention to the CTA. You see a simple layout. Your designer sees a grid system optimized for the screen you are reading this on right now. The difference between a design that gets scrolled past and one that stops the thumb? Strategy you cannot see. But your audience feels. Next time your designer delivers something simple, look again. There is nothing simple about it. Save this. Send it to someone who needs to hear it.

Cover image for Most carousels get scrolled past
Most carousels get scrolled past in 𝟬.𝟯 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀. Not because the design is bad. Because the value isn't obvious fast enough. Here's the 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 I use to make every 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 saving: 1. Lead with a 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 promise → Hook = the result they'll get. No vague intros. 2. Give 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, not content → One sharp idea per slide. Cut everything else. 3. Build a 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 framework → Something they can remember AND repeat. 4. End with a 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 step → Tell people exactly what to do. Direction = engagement. 5. Make it 𝗿𝗲𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 → A checklist, method, or takeaway they'll come back to. The goal isn't to 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀. It's meant to be useful fast. 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 this. ⌛ Send it to someone who posts 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘀.

Cover image for Step into a moment of
Step into a moment of quiet luxury the second you lay eyes on it. The matte black boxes feel wonderfully substantial in your hand, smooth and modern with just a whisper of delicate botanical patterns that hint at something natural and soothing inside. Nestled beside them are the glass candle jars—deep, rich amber and warm terracotta tones that catch the light beautifully. When the wicks are lit, soft golden flames dance behind the glass, sending gentle curls of fragrant smoke into the air and filling the room with that cozy, “I’m home” feeling. The contrast is striking yet effortless: bold black packaging against vibrant candle colors, clean typography, and thoughtful details that make the whole thing feel intentional and premium. It doesn’t scream for attention—it simply invites you in, promising a little ritual of calm and indulgence every time you reach for it. Whether it’s sitting on your shelf or being gifted to someone special, it already feels like a small everyday luxury you’ll want to come back to again and again. What do you think?
