Showing off my latest design

Hello all,

It is almost 2 months into my internship journey in UI/UX designs. We are gradually being eased into the design proper after a series of theoretical build-ups. I showed off my first 2 designs in this post and if you ask me now, I will tell you those designs reek of that of a total noob. I actually laughed at myself for self-sabotage. I have learned a lot more within a week interval.

Someone that is not a UI/UX designer might not see anything wrong in those designs but a mid-level designer would see a chunk of the faults from afar. Of course, I knew it was an amateurish design, just did not know they were that bad until I knew better.

Anyway, below is my latest tryout on a hero page for an e-commerce platform

For the first time, I actually put my creativity into this design and it came out decent. I said decent because even my mentors were surprised to see this from someone that made those earlier designs. I got to understand that what can make you stand out as a designer is creativity. When you are creative, originality comes easy and just a few minute scribbles can win you a noble price :).

Anyway, I just felt like updating you guys with my journey. I have been successfully promoted to stage 4 of the program and a huge task is currently at hand for me to submit by tomorrow and another one on Wednesday.

Let me know what you think of the designs above. I hope I am going with this minimalist approach the right way. If I am going to be working for @joerhino on his soon-to-be-launched website in the nearest future, I'd better sharpen my skills quite well because international ratings are like gold in this industry.
