When hovering over the card, which direction would you choose? 👀 1. Solid background behind the text
2. Gradient background behind the text
Both create a different visual feel and interaction.

Solid, because the copy underneath already has to compete with a sunset photo - a gradient adds a second layer of contrast to manage and the caption gets harder to guarantee legible across different images.

The gradient route adds a lot of atmosphere here, especially with the warm image behind it. I’d be curious to see how the solid option performs for readability on hover.
