Taste Test
One problem. Two design directions. Which would you choose?
For AEGIS / 001.05 . Traffic Operations, we explored two approaches to the same challenge: helping city operators understand congestion, incidents and network-wide disruptions without overwhelming them with information.
Both solve the same operational problem. Different approaches to hierarchy and interaction.
If you were behind the control desk . Option A or Option B?

Definitely . That's my pick too 😅😊
B for a control desk, no contest
Hahaha , agreed
Layout B. For traffic operations the whole job is parsing live status fast under pressure, and B's cleaner hierarchy gets you there without overload. A looks richer but that density is exactly what you do not want when incidents are stacking up. Function first here.
Definitely well explained Aditya.
I loved Option-B. But honestly, if it’s for control desk fellas, Option A will be great choice.
Hmm, good pick Zulker

Great branding! The presentation is top-notch. Learned something new from this.
Two footer treatments for the same badges.
Texture alone changes how trustworthy vs. how fun a brand feels.
Which one would make you stop scrolling? 👇

torn-paper version is really good .
Being an independent designer means you're also your own toughest critic – no one else is going to catch it if you don't.
Self-initiated projects give you all the freedom, meaning you can create close-to-perfect work that you think people would love to use. Vela is an app for making doctor appointments and getting insurance guidance with AI assistant. When I started designing it, I wanted it to feel trustworthy and knowledgeable, but also warm, like a friend who explains things without judging you.
Looking back at the initial teal version, I think it landed closer to "doctor's office" than that. Tried a version with less clinical colour, more personality, leaning towards "tech" rather than "health".
Curious what actually reads as more trustworthy to you: A or B?
