9 years of design. First Contra Labs project. Here's what happened.
A week ago I got accepted into Contra Labs as a Brand Designer. This week I completed my first paid project through it.
What's changed since my last post:
Discovery score is now 122, top 5% of creatives overall
Completed my first paid, on-platform project through Contra
What I've learned this round:
Reviews and a complete profile get you seen, but an actual completed project on the platform is a different kind of proof. That was the piece genuinely missing before this.
What I do:
Still a one-person studio. Brand identity, packaging design with production-ready files and 3D mockups, and full website builds, handled end to end so nothing gets lost between design and execution.
Based in Karachi, working with clients globally. Genuinely happy to give back here too, if you're working on your Contra profile and want a second pair of eyes on it, case studies, services, positioning, whatever's not landing, send it over and I'll help however I can.
Congratulations on this achievement. So I would like to take up your offer on getting a second pair of eyes on my Contra profile. Can you check it and give me an honest feedback? Thanks

Thank you for being here ๐ซถ We just hit 556 followers, OMG, and I truly appreciate every one of you following this journey
Now the update ๐

From the last report, my Discovery score has increased significantly, now Iโm at 160 pts and Top 1% of creatives ๐
And I finally hit:
๐ฐ $๐ญ๐ฌ๐+ ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ
Which honestly feels like one of the key turning points for my visibility here.
Looking at the patterns, Iโm starting to strongly believe that:
๐ consistently joining challenges
๐ and staying active in the community
has a massive impact on distribution and profile boost.
๐ What changed since my last update:

๐๏ธ Life update (slightly chaotic edition):
I recently left Czech Republic for a few months and moved to Phuket, Tailand
Between:
โ relocating
โ renting out my apartment
โ flights
โ personal errands
โ and still adjusting to jetlag
I was a bit less consistent with posting updates.
But Iโm slowly getting back into rhythm and I promise Iโll continue sharing the journey more actively again very soon.
๐ฌ This is your reminder that growth is not always linear โ sometimes life just happens in between.
And yetโฆ things still move forward
Thanks for being here ๐ค

Started this project just to create a basketball team's brand assets... but somewhere along the way, it turned into a full launch promo. ๐
The process was way more fun than I expected.
โข Started with 4 logo concepts and picked my favorite.
โข Tweaked the colors in Figma.
โข Used Envato AI to generate the full brand kits such as jerseys, shoes, wristbands, mascot, badges, and more.
โข Generated 3 music tracks with Envato AI Music. One became the official teaser soundtrack
I rejected a lot of generations. Not because they were bad but because they didn't match the vision. Every round of refinement pushed the project closer to the feeling I wanted. AI can generate endless possibilities, but taste is still a human skill.
Finally, I brought everything together in After Effects and turned it into a launch promo.
Sometimes the best design decision isn't choosing the right image or color, it's having the patience to reject good ideas until the right one appears.
