Designing custom banners for CTPX and ListNerds

avatar

I love exploring new ways to create visually engaging designs, so I've been experimenting with banners for CTPX and ListNerds for a few hours. Trying out different ideas to build on the original design concepts and make them even more interesting.

I find that maintaining creative momentum is crucial when experimenting with new designs, so I strive to work quickly and avoid over-polishing my ideas. In this case, I challenged myself to create different prototypes, focusing on exploring new ideas and variations without getting bogged down in details. Here are the six that make the final cut.

For CTPX, in the first version I played with the rotation present in the original design, while the second version is a silly inspiration from the Netflix logo animation, both symbolize the idea of exploration and discovery of new content by the users.

CTPX_v1_loop

CTPX v.1 Loop (250x250)

CTPX v.2 Loop

CTPX v.2 Loop (250x250)

CTPX_v1_loop

CTPX (468x60)


For ListNerds, starting with the original design, I added a wavy effect, an animated logo and a blinking call to action. In the version 2, I simplified the design by removing the wavy transition for a more minimalist result. However, to emphasize the "nerdy" aspect, I incorporated a dynamic text animation in the full banner, which also suggests the process of building lists. Additionally, the liquid movement is more subtle to add a touch of visual interest without overwhelming the design.

ListNerds_v1_loop

ListNerds v.1 Loop (250x250)

ListNerds_v2_loop

ListNerds v.2 Loop (250x250)

ListNerds_v3

ListNerds (468x60)


Please feel free to use any of these banners at your convenience.

And of course, I always welcome feedback and criticism. So if you have any suggestions for how I can improve or if there's a particular design that catches your eye, please don't hesitate to reach out and let me know.

To be honest I'm still considered a junior artist so I'm not sure if I can teach much, but that could be a great idea yes :)
