While working on a website, I explored two different approaches for the header design. Same brand, same content, just a different feel and interaction style.

Option 1 - Classic

Option 2 - Modern

Would love your honest UX/UI take, which direction feels cleaner, more functional, and better suited for the overall experience, and why?

Modern gives a really good feeling and make everything is clear

Day 8/30 of designing one hero section every day. Today: Cerro, a single-origin coffee brand. And after three days of building reveal mechanics, this one has almost no interaction at all. → The photograph is the design. An overhead shot of a picker at work, dark glossy foliage, red cherries. My only job was to not get in its way. → The light does the layout for me. The image funnels attention to the center, so the type sits in the shadowed edges where it doesn't compete. No scrims, no overlays needed. → The only motion is an entrance: the wordmark alone on empty plants, then the picker fades in. Credits: Arbi Khan for the template Image: Google Nano Banana

Built in Framer 8 down, 22 to go.

A new hero section every day for 30 days is a brutal pace. Eight days in, is it getting harder to avoid repeating yourself, or is the constraint actually making ideas come faster?
