I was working on the visual identity for the Ivy and wanted to experiment with stippling. Thousands of tiny dots forming an image. Simple enough as an idea. Figma had other plans. I tried plugins, but the number of SVG elements was too much. My laptop slowed down, and eventually the workflow became unusable. I remember thinking, "Why am I trying so hard to make this work inside Figma?" I didn't need another plugin. I needed a different tool. So I built one. It's called Stippling Studio. Nothing revolutionary. Just a tool that lets me experiment with the visual treatment I had in mind. But the experience stuck with me. For years, I learned to work around the limitations of my tools. Now I can sometimes build my way around them. https://stippling.pash.website/

So cool!!

Two ad designs, same offer, very different vibes. Which one would make you stop scrolling and tap “Start Today”?

Drop your pick below and tell me why. I’m collecting honest feedback on layout, colors, and what feels most clickable.

Option A: bold, dark gradient with a glowing neon feel. Option B: clean, bright, and playful with a white background.

Option A for me. The dark neon version pops harder in a busy feed and the headline reads faster. B feels friendlier but blends in a bit more.
