Going with hero 1
Hero 2, is better for if you're aiming for direct conversion and overall layout is way more cleaner, Hero 1 maybe center it beacuse its too much white space on the right, and play around with the 2 images on the bottom. Hero 2 is the winner for me nice work there.
The reason I chose Hero 1 is that the design style feels fresh and modern. I also think the image beneath the hero text complements the message really well, which makes the whole section feel more cohesive. That’s my perspective.
It feels hero 2 its lets busy than the other other, which the picture deviates my attention
Looks great
I will pick 2nd one
I would choose Hero 2. Solid layout, great for building instant trust.
Hero 2 is better!

Light and dark themes can create completely different impressions of the same brand.
The light version feels more open, clear, and approachable. It creates a sense of trust, accessibility, and calm.
The dark version feels more focused, powerful, and premium. It adds intensity, authority, and a stronger sense of expertise.
The content and structure remain the same, but the emotional perception changes.
For a sports psychology coach working with athletes and coaches, which theme feels more suitable to you: light or dark?

I always prefer dark mode, but I don't know why I think light mode looks good to me
If you had to choose one option to present your brand without actually talking to the users, what would you choose?
Lately, I've been pushing myself to explore what's possible with Figma Motion and see just how far I can take animations without leaving Figma.
I recently came across a really smooth WhatsApp animation and thought, why not recreate it? So I challenged myself to build it from scratch, paying close attention to the timing, easing, and micro-interactions.
It's been a fun way to learn, experiment, and sharpen my motion design skills.
How do you think it turned out? 👀
I'd love to hear your feedback!

Animated visuals makes the user stay, while static will not attract much
Juncture just went live 🎉

Wrote up the full case study, including the two places I pushed past the original brief and why:
