Matcha for me. Also, the overall design looks really polished
Hi Murad,
Thanks a lot!❤️
Both looks good but I think you can do something better than those hehe
Both options are great but the Matcha option attract me more
I appreciate your opinion. Thanks!
It's my pleasure
huge fan of the matcha! far less expected & also carries a nice calm feel with it.
I would choose Blueberry because of its stronger contrast, clearer hierarchy, and more recognizable visual cues.
Blueberry looks better here, why dont you try the matcha version with a nice light shade of black with that green. I think it would look amazing here and see that green really pop how it should.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely try it
Update me, I want to check it out.
Something like this?
Blueberry
Decent design!
Well planned
Blueberry is better
I will pick Matcha 🙌
This feels modern, fresh, and polished!
Thanks!☺️
Went with Blueberry, the blue accent creates more contrast against the grey cards so the eye lands on the actual numbers faster. Matcha is nice but the green blends a bit too close to the neutral grey background for a glance test.
Totally agree with you!
I think BlueBerry
Blueberry ( Blueish Platte ) appears to be over used these days. Definitely Matcha.
Blueberry looks better, matcha color feels outdated
Probably I'm biased, not really a matcha fan, so I'd definitely go with blueberry :D
Blue definitely stands out more. The contrast draws your eyes straight to the main data cards. Have you tested how both look in dark mode yet?
No, thanks for the recommendation. I'll try
blue
Matcha🔥
The noise texture feels more cohesive with the Matcha to me
Fantastic work! Wishing you continued success.
Thanks a lot!🫶
Matcha is better
Blueberry reads faster for me: the blue separates cleanly from the neutral greys so the numbers and charts pop, while the matcha olive sits too close to the background and muddies the productivity heatmap. Blue also keeps green free to mean status, which matters on a dashboard where green usually reads as on track.
Thanks for your opinion!
Nice colors
i prefer the blueberry

Same brand.
Same color palette.
Same subject.
Two completely different design directions.
I designed two hero sections for the same beauty salon to see which one creates a stronger first impression.
A or B?
Which one would you choose and more importantly, why?
I’m curious to see what the design community prefers. 👇

I'm torn on this one honestly, A feels warmer and more editorial while B leans a little more retail-catalog. What made you land on testing this pair specifically instead of two totally different concepts?
How do you keep a brand's promise of calm intact once real users start clicking through checkout?
Mudita builds minimalist devices around one idea: technology that harmonizes with your life instead of competing for your attention. The brandbook lays that promise out in detail - tone, restraint, what the brand should never feel like. My job was carrying that same discipline into the product itself.
I worked across the checkout flow, the storefront and category browsing, and the product page above the fold - three surfaces where small frictions had quietly built up against the brand's own case for calm. The brandbook gave the rules. The UI work was making sure those rules survived contact with a real cart and a real user.
For the case study visuals, I used AI for the first time to produce product footage 🤖 - wind moving through a scene, an object drifting in place. Higgsfield was genuinely a good way to learn that workflow fast.
Full case study - actual before/after breakdowns - is up on Behance 🔗, linked below.
Genuinely curious where people land on this: generating production assets with AI is fast, and honestly kind of fun as a workflow - but there's real pushback that it's taking work away from people who used to shoot this stuff. Where do you fall on that?
The checkout flow detail is what stands out to me, that's usually where a brand's calm promise turns into three different button behaviors fighting each other. On your AI question, I think it matters less whether it's fast and more who's checking the output against the brand's...
A small packaging design test:
Two versions of the same packaging — the only difference is the front label. In the first version, the fjord image is used as a background. In the second, the image is framed like a postcard.
Would love to hear what makes one work better than the other.

From a product perspective, the postcard option has the front face of the box lit and the side face darker, this helps the box perspective to feel closer to a real product.
The box design feels more integrated as a background to me, I would just put some work on making sure...
