Don't have high hopes but still want to give a try.
In these designs, I tried to
- explain product through illustrations
- Precise CTA's
- Tried to keep text low and graphics high.
- Implementing marketing strategies through design.
5 years ago, I decided to start my own startup.
I went with more than 100+ failures then there was one thing that changed my life.
Now I earn $800k+ per year.
