Taste Test
I’m exploring two visual directions for Together, an app concept for the Flowstep challenge focused on helping friends make plans, vote, and keep track of what’s coming up.
For this comparison, I wanted to test how much the overall visual theme changes the feel of the product.
The dark version feels bolder, more energetic, and more nightlife-driven.
The light version feels cleaner, more approachable, and easier to scan.
Dark mode: bold, social, energetic
Light mode: clean, friendly, approachable
Since this app is all about making plans with friends, the visual direction needs to feel fun without becoming overwhelming.
Which version feels stronger for a social planning app?

minimalistic is a winner for me! you really get to focus in on the product & register the name.
Small UX decisions often make the biggest difference. Which approach would you choose for an FAQ section?
✔️Ready-made answers to common questions.
✔️The option to ask a question via email or a contact form.
Or is a combination of both the better solution?

Impressive design. The branding feels strong and consistent.
Moodboard Exploration — Three Directions
We almost never present just one direction.
Three distinct territories this time, each with its own logic and energy; one built on dependability, one built on voice and edge, one built to hold both without collapsing into either. Not because we're indecisive — because a client needs something to react to, not just something to accept.
The best brand decisions come from comparison, not from being told “trust us.”
