Which color direction feels right for BELVEDERE ROMA?
I’m exploring two visual directions for BELVEDERE ROMA, a luxury Roman hotel identity inspired by classical art, architecture, and contemporary Italian hospitality.

Burgundy is closer to Rome's own palette — porphyry, cardinal, terracotta — which is exactly why so much classical-luxury hotel work already lives there. The green is the less expected read, and in my experience it holds better against brass and warm lobby light, where burgundy...
The contrast between the warm burgundy route and the darker alternative makes the positioning question feel tangible. The classical references keep it feeling distinctly Roman without losing the hospitality mood.
Deep green for me. It feels timeless and sophisticated, and it connects naturally with the classical Roman inspiration while still feeling luxurious. Curious what made you choose this palette?
Nice work🙌
Both looks good but I like Deep Green slightly more :)
Good Work!!!!
I was so confused ngl, they both are so premium.
Deep green

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 :)
More visuals from the rejected brand direction I shared earlier.
Really good to see this direction resonating with so many of you. It was one of our favourite explorations to build, from the narrative behind it to the visual world that brought it to life.
Great work doesn’t always make the final cut, and sometimes the reason has little to do with the quality of the direction.
Curious why this one was rejected? I’ve shared the story in the first comment✨
Nazariya Living is a premium carpet and home décor brand shaped by craftsmanship, culture and the stories objects carry into our homes.
This direction brought that idea to life through a seal-inspired logo, archival textures, unexpected colours and editorial typography, creating...
Working on a hero section for GenZz, a bold Gen Z eyewear and fashion brand. Testing two color directions for the landing page and honestly torn between them.
Version 2 has a mint to teal gradient background. Version 1 shifts it to a sky blue gradient. Same layout, same typography, same energy, just a different mood in the backdrop.
Which one pulls you in more and why. Curious if the mint feels more playful and on brand for Gen Z, or if the blue reads cleaner and more premium.
Would love your honest take before I lock this in with the client.
