Taste Test
Designed index page for an independent designer, had a lot of creative explorations but this editorial style layout stood the most! which theme goes well with the design? Light or Dark?

The Dark theme definitely hits harder for an editorial look. It makes those blue tones in the photography pop much more and gives the typography a really sleek, premium feel.
That’s a great point. I agree, the dark theme really helps the blues pop and gives the typography a more premium, editorial feel. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Interesting take. I like how you put that, the light version does give the images and headline a bit more soul. Appreciate the insight.
Thank you! Glad you liked the dark version 🔥
Thanks a lot! The black theme seems to be resonating with many people 🔥
Dark for sure, are you keeping the rest of the site dark too?
Thanks a lot for your feedback, yes I am planning to keep the rest of the site dark as well! Gonna share soon!

Found some old design work from the archive 🔓 I design so many things over time I lose track of what I've even done sometimes lol
What do you think?
Really nice visual direction — the contrast + atmosphere feel very polished.
From a UX perspective, I especially like how the onboarding screen feels calm instead of “system heavy”. Curious — was the goal more emotional branding or conversion optimization?
Loved the mood you shared. how do you usually arrive at a visual direction like that?
When working on the landing page for the golf club, our goal was to create an experience that reflects the nature of the sport itself — calm, precise, and intentional. Many sports websites rely on dense layouts and heavy UI patterns, but golf lives in space and rhythm, so the interface needed to feel the same way
I like this old money style 😍 Where can I see more of this project?
