To elevate the blog content visually, I used Figma to collaborate on the design. This included creating layouts for featured images, CTAs, and other visual elements that complemented the written content. The goal was to ensure the blogs were not just readable but visually compelling and aligned with Contra’s branding.
5. Delivering Polished Content
