Taste Test
Sharing something I'm working on right now.
Two directions for the same screen. One keeps everything in a focused card – the button and the conditions right where you look. The other turns the whole screen into the place: more atmosphere, less interface.
Which one feels easier to use? And if the prettier one isn't the easier one for you, tell me in the comments – that's the part I'm stuck on.

Feel no 1 is a little bland somehow, don't know why.
Appreciate the feedback! My guess is it’s the flatter color/contrast.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Both of looks clean and well thought out. How long did it take you to bring everything together?
Thank you! Around 1,5-2 hours
Nice!
both are nice but No 1 is giving “Basic”? Like the old style but No 2 seems the option which is easier to use
Agree. Appreciate you!
01 feels easier on my eyes
Thank you!
Version 01: Because the card acts as a clear focal point, the CTA has much stronger prominence, and the information architecture is easier to process at a glance.
In version 02: The edge-to-edge image creates a richEr atmosphere, but the thumbnails, statistics, text, and primary action all compete for attention.
Really sharp breakdown, agree completely. 01 gives you clarity and a strong CTA, 02 gives you atmosphere but everything fights for attention.
For me it comes down to intent: action-driven screen, 01 wins. Mood or brand-first, 02 can work, but only if you calm down everything competing with the primary action 😊

If your dashboard has to be beautiful OR instantly understandable, which one wins?
I designed two visual directions for the same AI Sales Agent dashboard.
Same product. Same data. Same core UX.
Only the visual language changed.
