I made this poster for fun and I got feedback that the original version (left) was too dull because of the color palette, so I made a new version (right). I still think the original looks better, even though the black and red iteration might draw more attention. Would you push the attention seeking red version or the original more tone down version?

The original has more depth and is reflective of the creator's thought process.

the left version is definitely more eye-catching. your attention goes to it immediately

but after looking at them a bit longer, I personally came to the conclusion that the second version looks more beautiful overall

but the left version definitely does a better job of grabbing attention

Same content. Two completely different vibes.

What happens when you keep the course content the same, but change the structure, typography, and color palette?

Two hero sections. One course. Two different visual experiences.

Which one would you choose? 1 or 2?

Option 1 works well , the heirarchy and card layout on the hero is very smart

These tones are stunning. I can instantly picture this color system translating beautifully into soft, flowing motion graphics for a brand reveal video. Great exploration!
