Really impressive
Thanks ! Glad you liked the direction 🙌

🚀 Design Direction Poll
I've been exploring two hero concepts for a digital marketing agency, both built around the same message:

A great exercise in studying design principles and then applying them through your own lens.
Question:
Which version do you prefer?
