Taste Test
Redesigned this sleep app screenshot for @sleepcycle and I think the difference speaks for itself.
Curious, which option feels best to you ?

Thanks for your vote, kindly leave a comment about your thoughts on the designs, personally, I think one of the designs tells a story of what the app can do for users, while the other shows feature, techy.
LMK what you think. Gracias
Looks good!
Appreciate the feedback
Love love this
Thank you so much
This new design feels so much better.
Thanks
Really did a great job! @Peace Ukutegbe
The revised version explains the concept and is definately louder in explaining the purpose here.
Thanks for your feedback Jafar
Love the After 🙌
Second option do feel good. I feel that if there would be no emojis it would look perfect as it will not clash with the brand personality which is leaning towards modernity.
Nice suggestion, thank you!
Totally the new one
The image reinforces the message and product solution

Over the years I've designed many mobile apps for clients.
This one is different. It's mine.
- Two weekends.
- Figma for the design (it's hand-made)
- Claude for the code, App Store research and strategy and everything related to the app submission.
- 1 rejection from Apple, sorted out in a few minutes this morning, resubmitted for review and we're now live.
It's nothing world changing - just a kitchen timer. But it's on the App Store and I built it as a designer with zero coding skills. Gotta wrap up a case study for this soon.
P.S. Feels a bit odd to have "Developer" label above my name 🤣
Good design doesn’t ignore ideas – it helps you see the difference.
At the start of this Kajabi project, the client asked to use their Facebook banner as the website hero.
The reason was simple: they wanted everything to feel consistent with their social media.
And we totally respect that.
Even though we knew this approach usually doesn’t work well for a hero section, we always make sure our clients can see their idea in action.
So instead of pushing back – we did both:
👉 their version (social banner as hero)
👉 our version (optimized hero section)
What’s the difference?
The banner version keeps the visual style… but it doesn’t function as a real entry point to the page:
🧩no clear headline
🧩no defined offer
🧩no call-to-action
🧩no immediate clarity
Our version focused on one thing – clarity.
What we changed:
✔️ A confident, clear headline
✔️ A simple and understandable offer
✔️ A strong CTA
✔️ A modern, clean photo of the artist (easy to recognize)
We also:
- kept the original background to maintain brand consistency
- removed the extra logo (since it’s already in the header)
Result:
The client didn’t lose their visual identity, but gained something much more important:
👉 clarity
👉 structure
👉 direction
And in the end, they chose our version
Impressive thought process.
