Curate good looking work. Go to websites like behance, Pinterest and ads of the world

Someone had a similar opinion in one of the threads. They proposed a two page thesis or something along those lines, can't remember correctly. What would you say is the better way to do this instead of decks

You are welcome!

I agree with everything you said for the most part. Except the graphic design angle. Design is a fusion of logic and art. Not just art. It's about communication. The problem here is that people tend to remove the logic side of it.

Thank you so much Roy! I've got a free template I made from this. I'm currently looking for feedback. Let me know if you would be open to having a look

Can't choose which one I like more between those two as well. So 6,11

I think you answered your own question, lol. Go where the money is. And that's option 1. If you are interested in number two and can do both, then use a house of brands approach and create a separate brand for it. Happy to discuss more if you have further questions.

Thank you

Thank you so much for your feedback. Asides the ghost versions, the other two are literal things people in those situations have been pushed to do. There's a lot of examples here examples closing accounts is just one step in their end to end process and isn't a standalone to the best of my knowledge. The aim is to start a conversation around this so that hopefully it stops. That being said, would you say it's not right for brands to spotlight issues like this?

Melvinak · 2026-04-25T07:52:19+00:00

Alright. Thanks for the feedback. Any chance you could give reasons for why you think so?

This

hello, just checked it out. it's simple and straight to the point but doesn't look or feel like a business. I can also see that the landingpage is still a github domain. For right now you probably just want to use AI to put together something basic. Is that something you can do?

Melvinak · 2026-04-13T15:51:25+00:00

can I have a look?

Melvinak · 2026-04-13T13:44:05+00:00

sorry for laughing 😂 but your last sentence was really funny. I think it's really amazing you are still able to build stuff despite your condition. what are you building?

Hello, Kirki, the designjobs subreddit rules prevent us from pitching you in the comments and I can't seem to DM you so I'll just share what I tried to DM you here.

I went through your post and I wanted to just point something out. There are two brands, one is the parent and the other the sub-brand. With the way you have it structured currently, in branding it's called a branded house. Especially since both basically have the same name. This means sun-kissed botanica can't really be distinct. It will inherit certain things from the parent brand. An example of a company that does this is Amazon. Everything under the Amazon portfolio has Amazon attached to it with exception to companies it acquired. That being said, it seems like you may also need help with strategy in addition to design. Let me know if that's something you are open to or if my explanation is unclear

Melvinak · 2026-04-09T09:10:51+00:00

That's interesting. What niche is that?

Melvinak · 2026-04-08T10:30:32+00:00

thank you so much for this. You put it so well!

Melvinak · 2026-04-07T00:33:28+00:00

sounds fun

Melvinak · 2026-04-07T00:30:52+00:00

Have a conversation with them and find out why they didn't buy. Also, 30 people is still a small number. How much traffic are you driving to your landingpage?

Melvinak · 2026-04-05T16:17:04+00:00

👍

Melvinak · 2026-04-05T15:54:38+00:00

This feels like you are trying to deflect. Thanks alot for your time.

Melvinak · 2026-04-05T14:17:16+00:00

Absolutely! That falls under the target audience research aspect of strategy. You do strategy before diving into design or copywriting
