I’m just starting my journey on Contra. I specialize in creating digital ads for marketplaces and social media, with a strong focus on improving the quality and visual performance of ads for online sellers.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can land my first projects here? I’d really appreciate any advice. Thank you!
What got me my first few was posting before-and-after pairs rather than finished ads on their own: the original listing image next to yours, with one line on why the conversion should move. Sellers can't judge craft, but they can read a comparison instantly, and it says "I understand your problem" more than any intro post does.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your advice. I’ll start including before-and-after examples of some of my work, even though that may not be possible for every project.

VYRA — Immersive VR Experience Landing Page 🥽✨
VYRA is a futuristic landing page concept for a spatial VR platform that helps brands and teams create immersive digital environments for launches, storytelling, training, and interactive experiences.
The goal was to translate the feeling of entering another world into a clean, premium digital interface. The visual direction combines oversized typography, immersive photography, minimal UI, and vibrant orange accents to create a strong sense of technology and motion.
Special attention was given to:
• a cinematic hero composition that immediately introduces the VR experience;
• oversized typography integrated with the main visual to create depth and movement;
• a minimal black, white, and orange palette that keeps the interface futuristic without feeling overly technical 🟠;
• subtle orbital graphics and supporting details that reinforce the idea of spatial environments;
• a clear “Start your world” CTA that connects naturally with the brand message;
• supporting metrics and micro-elements that add a sense of technology and precision;
• responsive mobile layouts that preserve the visual impact while simplifying the composition 📱;
• a clean mobile navigation experience that keeps product, custom VR, pricing, and support easy to access;
• a flexible visual system suitable for VR products, immersive platforms, and emerging technology brands.
The result is a bold digital experience that makes spatial technology feel premium, accessible, and exciting — turning the website itself into the first step toward an immersive world.

Building a brand that moves with the business. ✦
For MasBirX, I developed a visual identity around logistics, coordination, and seamless delivery, combining a bold purple visual system with a clean, modern and human-centered brand language.
The goal was to create something that feels reliable, connected, and future-ready, while still staying approachable across digital touchpoints.
From the identity and visual direction to social content and digital applications, every element was designed to make the brand feel consistent wherever it shows up.
