An Unnatural Camera Position Should Give Us Somethingđź‘€
There is a very simple camera test. Place it at normal eye level and look at the result. Then raise it to three meters and look again. If nothing fundamentally changes, there is a logical question: why is the camera three meters high in the first place?
Any unnatural camera position should give us some important information.
A very low viewpoint can make a tower feel taller. A semi-aerial view can reveal the masterplan. A high camera can show an important landscape strategy. A wide lens can be justified in a tight space.
But if the wide angle simply gives us another twenty meters of asphalt while making the architecture visually smaller, the decision becomes questionable.
This feels especially strange in high-end real estate. Someone is buying a property for several million, yet half of the marketing image is occupied by the road.
Perhaps that was what they had been dreaming about all along...

Primetube - Visual Identity for a Video Streaming Platform
When I started on Primetube, the brief was simple but sharp: this is a platform for real videos that pull users in — the brand needed to say that before a single word was read.
So I built the mark around one idea — merge the "P" with a play button. It's a small piece of visual logic, but it's the kind of detail that makes a logo feel inevitable once you see it, and forgettable if you don't nail it.
The P-plus-play merge is a crowded corner of the map - half the streaming apps on a phone have some play triangle folded into a letter - so the thing that actually separates Primetube here is the app icon, where the cut-through counter gives it a shape the others don't have. If...
