What if Contra had launched in 1999, and again in 2001? 🐐
I sent the community feed through two eras: a Netscape portal with banner-ad challenges, a visitor counter for upgoats and a buddy list instead of DMs, and a Flash-era collective with a thumbnail wall, a contests ticker and tiny pixel type.
Kept: the three-zone layout, the Create button, the goat. Changed: soft cards became bevels and hairlines, Trending became Hot Topics, DMs became an AIM window.
Both eras are live and switchable here: Website time machine . Also pictured: Contra meeting the early web.
Which site should I send back in time next?

Every AI product apologizes for the wait. I designed the wait instead.
Latency: identity, interactive site and campaign built on Ma, the space that gives a thing its shape. The headline breathes in weight until the answer lands.
Design the pause.
Man, you’re superhuman; your consistency and quality are out of this world... congratulations on your work.
A few years ago I had the chance to take a course where one of the modules was taught by a designer I really admire, Joseph Berry.
The goal was to create a website for a product, in this case, a speaker. We went through the entire process, from receiving the brief to the very last detail, even modeling the product ourselves in 3D using Spline.
I learned so much, and also got to meet great designers. It’s amazing to see how each one has a different process, and having the chance to observe that and take a bit from each way of doing things to make it your own and develop a unique result really helps you grow a lot as a professional.
I’m sharing some frames from the project, hope you like them!
Great website design visuals I like the color palette ❤️❤️
Great job Ivan🎉🎉
I created a brand identity concept for Velora, an AI productivity platform. I explored the logo, colors, typography, and how the brand could look across a website, mobile app, and everyday products. I wanted everything to feel consistent, modern, and easy to recognize.
The blue is perfect for this. I’ve seen so many AI brands do boring black/white but this gradient gives it energy. And Plus Jakarta Sans was a great choice, keeps it friendly.
