Sun in Aries. The first treats the film as a classical object: serif type, centered hierarchy, restraint that lets the photography lead. The second applies Swiss grotesque and horizontal structure, the credits becoming typographic texture rather than information. Different systems, same photograph. The darkness in the image held up to both.

Which one feels stronger?

Built one entirely from scratch in Framer. Prompted the other to Claude as a creative partner. Curious if you can tell which is which. Write in comments below ->

Got two new hero section designs I worked on recently.. Both follow very different directions: ➤ Cinematic + Minimal ➤ Bold + Energetic Trying to figure out which one feels stronger overall. Which layout do you think works better — left or right?

Good packaging does not just look beautiful. It sells the product before the customer even touches it.

I’m a packaging designer helping brands create packaging that stands out on the shelf and feels premium in the customer’s hand. I design labels, boxes, pouches, bottles, and print-ready packaging systems that balance brand identity, aesthetics, and production needs.

What I offer:

Product packaging design

Label and box design

Luxury cosmetic packaging

Print-ready dieline adaptation

Packaging mockups for presentations

Brand-consistent packaging systems

Currently open for freelance packaging projects on Contra. If your brand needs packaging that looks premium and converts attention into trust, I’m ready to work.
