Taste Test
Exploring two landing page directions for Serein - a skincare brand focused on calm, balanced, healthy-looking skin.
Portrait Layout - with the models as the main focal point and the copy placed alongside the image.
Wide Layout - a calmer, more editorial composition that introduces the brand’s skincare philosophy through a structured content block.
Which direction would you choose for Serein: Portrait Layout or Wide Layout?
Which one feels more memorable and trustworthy for a skincare brand?

Portrait layout for me. It feels more memorable and emotionally engaging.
Portrait Layout
Potrait
Portrait layout is better because it feels more natural to the eye and gives you more options for the content (image, video or even a GIF) that can introduce the brand very well
love the portrait layout!
The wide layout is very near the hero. The portrait has a better design proportion
Wide layout feels empty, will go with portrait layout
Portrait layout looks better
The portrait layout looks much better
Portrait Layout gets my vote Placing the models prominently above the fold creates immediate trust while keeping the CTA buttons super clear.Did you generate the model visuals with Adobe Firefly directly?
Yes, with Adobe Firefly + ChatGPT helped with detailed prompt generation.
🎉 🎉 🎉
Portrait Layout 👍
had to choose, this is so clean and perfecto
I'd say both are good, Wide one focuses on more 'Build your routine' while other one serves primary and seconday actions very well.
if building routine is the primary goal for the business & end-user I would go with first with elegant typeface.
My vote t Portrait layout. As it reads stronger to me the asymmetric split gives the copy room to breathe and lets the image carry full emotional weight, while the shorter, punchier headline ("Skin that feels like itself") lands with more clarity than the centered version's longer line.
Close your eyes and go for the portrait version.
Portrait for sure.
wide one, feels more like a brand than an ad
Voted Portrait 👍
Wide layout feels so much closer to calm, balanced than portrait does, that editorial pacing does a lot of work. Was the client on board with losing the immediate face-first hook, or did you have to make the case for it?
The 'brief' and 'client' were AI-generated, purely a practice round for me.
Totally agreed

Something about the wide layout..
I feel the portrait layout is well detailed than the wide layout
The portrait layout for me, the way it comes together is so good
The first hero section
Portrait layout stand out more
What an eye-catching concept! Super useful and innovative design.
Wide layout for me
Portrait layout is the only correct answer for a Skincare brand.
The images matters as much as the text for a first impression, so portrait mode works perfectly

Should a flower shop ever go black and white?
Same flower house, same layout. We only took the color out.
1. Full color. The iridescent petals do the selling: lilac, pink, a little shimmer. The photo is the brand, and every accent on the page borrows from it.
2. Monochrome. No color at all. Shape, texture and typography have to carry everything, and the page suddenly reads like a gallery catalogue.
Color sells the flower. Monochrome sells the exhibition.
Which one would get you through the door?

The problem with monochrome is that, throughout computer history, it has conditioned users to associate gray and monochrome with being disabled, dysfunctional, or something to ignore and avoid.
In my INKFLESH identity work, the wordmark runs off the can's curve and gets partly hidden behind artwork on posters. That crop asks the rest of the identity to carry more recognition. The mark has a job when the name is only partly there.
Which book cover design theme speaks the clearest?
