Taste Test

Same scene. Two directions.
One keeps the focus entirely on the message.
The other adds supporting UI elements and a bit more motion context.
At first, the version with extra elements felt more alive…
but now I’m wondering if it actually weakens the main headline.
Does it help tell the story - or just split the attention?
Which one works better - and why?

Same 2D scene.
Two directions.
One stays clean and minimal.
The other adds glow, blur and extra effects.
At first the FX version felt like an obvious upgrade…
but now I’m wondering if it actually improves the scene or just makes
it busier.
Which one works better - and why?

Same 2D scene. Different color direction.
One feels softer, more subtle.
The other is bolder, more contrasty.
At first, the stronger palette felt like the obvious choice…
now I’m not sure if it’s just too much.
Which one would you keep - and why?

It depends on what the use case is, both of these options have legit arguments going for them
A for thinking/loading state
B for celebratory state
Most "hero image expands on scroll" effects do it wrong
The right move: grow the box AND zoom OUT. Same content but more of the scene reveals as it grows
