When a product decides the aesthetic.
Something interesting came up during the design of this hero section.
I had a technical design in mind. But the product steered me in a different direction.
Private aviation is not clean tech. It is power. Precision. Controlled luxury.
And so the design changed.
Still working on typography, hierarchy, and tension, but the path is clear now.
Luxury does not shout. It dominates.
Interested to see how others determine when to change course on the aesthetic path.
This is such a great reflection 👏 I love how you captured the tension between your initial vision and the product’s direction. Luxury really does demand dominance over flash, and it’s fascinating how subtle shifts in typography, hierarchy, and visual tension communicate that.
