Sharing these explorations I did for fun when Outseta was looking for a new X Banner!
I wanted to keep it playful and human. And give Outseta some personality. Not everyone needs a mascot!
I experimented with some other colours from their palette, but I stuck with Yellow for the joy vibe it was giving 🤌
As you can see in the last photo, I also challenged Outseta to #ownyouryellow 💛 (removing the Outseta logo from the profile photo and playfully peeking in the banner).
Guess they weren't ready for it yet! 😂

Proper Form — Social Media Branding System
A flexible social media system created for Proper Form as part of the wider brand identity.
The template system was designed to adapt across different post formats, banners and platforms while maintaining a consistent visual language.
Rather than repeating one rigid layout, the system gives the brand room to vary composition, imagery and content while remaining clearly recognizable.
Created by Lepisov Branding in collaboration with Creative Mints.
Logo design: Ilya Gorchanyuk
Creative direction: Dmitry Lepisov
Brand identity + social system: Lepisov Branding × Creative Mints
This is how a social system should work: strong enough rules that the brand reads at thumbnail size, loose enough that the feed never looks copy-pasted. Do you hand clients a Figma kit for this, or build it in something their team edits themselves?
Just posted a new case study featuring the thumbnail artwork I designed for Primer.com. Check it out! 📚
Nice! Thumbnail artwork can make such a difference in how content catches attention. Looking forward to seeing how you approached this project!
AI can generate a dashboard. But can it give a product its own identity?
The first design was created by my client using AI a familiar dashboard style you've probably seen across countless AI-generated products.
I redesigned it to feel less generic and more intentional, with a distinctive visual identity, clearer hierarchy, and an experience built around meaningful celebrations.
The goal wasn't just to make it look better. It was to make it feel like its own product.
What do you think is missing from most AI-generated interfaces?

I think personality is what makes a product stand out. A clean design is good, but it should also feel unique and memorable. 👏
