Quick creative question 👀
Finishing a new promo video project and deciding on the final direction.
Would you rather go with:
- Clean & Minimal
- Bold & Expressive
Curious which direction feels more compelling to you 👇

Very clean execution 👌
Interesting choice going with the softer gradients + spacing rhythm — it gives a very “modern SaaS dashboard” feel.
From an implementation perspective, designs like this usually translate nicely into responsive layouts because hierarchy & grouping are so...
@Blahomyr Popok Both looks good, but I will say Option A, looks polish and no need for extra components.
@Blahomyr Popok Both look good, but I’d go with Option A, it feels more polished and doesn’t need any extra components
BOTH looks almost similar but option B its bold if its a video project then bold
This is a great question Blahomyr! I'm drawn to Option A - the clean minimal approach feels more professional and lets the content breathe. The bold expressive style can work but risks overshadowing the message. For a promo video, clarity wins.
I would go with option A. No need to add extra elements.💯
Amazing Work
Compelling isn’t a style decision, it’s a context decision.
In saturated digital feeds, bold often captures attention.
But in high consideration B2B environments, clarity usually converts better.
The stronger play is the one aligned with acquisition channel + ICP psychology.

Time for a new Motion Design Reel.
This time, I'm taking a step back, choosing to be more deliberate than just flashy, more mature than just hype.
This is my 1st post for the year on any platform. I'm taking it slow, but ready to get things going!
Question for you, do you think a slower style like this works as a demo reel or not?
Love this direction 👀 Deliberate > flashy. Feels much more premium.
I've been improving styleframes for my recent animation lately, what do you think of such re-design? 😉
Love the redesign! The updated styleframes feel more polished and dynamic really elevates the animation’s visual storytelling. 👏
