This was a study to experiment with lighting, color theory, camera movement, telling story through shot making, etc... This project was essential to build my skills along the way.

Today's design exploration started with a Dribbble inspiration piece.

Rather than copying it directly, I challenged myself to reinterpret the concept and experiment with a completely different visual direction.

The original inspiration uses vibrant blue and orange colors to create an energetic feel, while my version leans into a darker, more premium aesthetic.

A great exercise in studying design principles and then applying them through your own lens.

Question:

Which version do you prefer?
