Taste Test
Today's design exploration started with a Dribbble inspiration piece.
Rather than copying it directly, I challenged myself to reinterpret the concept and experiment with a completely different visual direction.
The original inspiration uses vibrant blue and orange colors to create an energetic feel, while my version leans into a darker, more premium aesthetic.
A great exercise in studying design principles and then applying them through your own lens.
Question:
Which version do you prefer?

Dark mode for sure. The colorful version feels more generic for the language learning space, but the darker aesthetic gives it a premium edge that makes it stand out. Curious if you tested with actual users.

Every website starts long before the first screen is designed.
For this concept, we began with a moodboard: tea ceremony photography, botanical elements, natural textures, and a calm earthy palette.
Those references shaped the visual direction, typography, colors, and overall atmosphere of the website.
The goal isn't to copy the moodboard, but to transform inspiration into a cohesive digital experience.
Do you think the final design captures the mood of the original references?
