Working on the homepage for Still Blooming, a wedding and floral studio, I explored two different layout directions for the hero section. Same brand, same copy, just a different structure and visual rhythm.
Option 1 : Left Aligned. Text sits on the left with supporting content beside it, giving an editorial, asymmetrical feel.
Option 2 : Centered. Everything is stacked and centered, giving a clean, balanced, more classic hero layout.
Would love your honest UX/UI take which direction feels more elegant, functional, and true to a wedding/floral brand, and why?

Great Design :)
Designed a dashboard concept for tracking net worth across every asset type — stocks, crypto, property, pensions, funds, cash, and liabilities — all in one place.
Instead of the usual pie chart or bar graph, the centerpiece is a dial: a single, glanceable gauge showing where your wealth actually sits. Behind it, a quiet grid of every asset category fades in and out of visibility, reinforcing that everything's accounted for even when it's not the focus.
Dark UI, a single confident green accent, and a lot of negative space — built to make a genuinely overwhelming task (seeing your entire financial picture at once) feel calm instead of cluttered.
wow the animation feels super smooth, what is this animation for?
Back in 2016 I made a lot of cinemagraphs for HBO.
They took a surprising amount of work. Masking footage, finding the right loop, freezing parts of the frame and getting everything to transition cleanly.
I’ve had an idea for a simpler cinemagraph tool kicking around in my head ever since.
About a month ago I built another small tool using Toolcraft as the starting point, so yesterday I wanted to see if it could handle this idea too.
A few hours later I had a working cinemagraph editor.
Drop in a video → find your loop → choose how it loops → paint the areas you want to keep still → export.
Basically the workflow I used 10 years ago, condensed into a few controls.
Still rough around the edges, but kind of wild to finally build a tool I’ve been thinking about for a decade.
The masking-and-looping history is exactly why a simpler cinemagraph workflow feels valuable; the tricky part is preserving a seamless transition without making the tool feel like a timeline editor. Curious direction for an AI-assisted app.
