Taste Test
Im running a quick A/B vote on the hero design. V1 uses an illustrated scene to feel friendly and product-led, while V2 uses a real ocean photo for a more premium, realistic vibe. Which one feels clearer, more trustworthy, and makes you more likely to hit “Join Waitlist”?

Version 2 for me, the real ocean photo gives it a more aspirational feel that matches the premium positioning of a boating app.
Version 2
Even though I really like illustrative web/UI designs, the real ocean photo makes it more relatable and visually adds a nice depth to design 👍

Why Demand for Designers Is on the Rise | Figma Blog
Our latest study suggests that AI is driving renewed momentum in design hiring. We unpack why that is, what hiring managers prioritize, and which skills designers need to get ahead.
The irony is perfect — the same AI wave that supposedly killed design is simultaneously driving more demand for it. Turns out making things look good and work well still requires human judgment, taste and strategy. The tools change, the need doesn't.
