A thread for founders who want freedom, not fantasy.

@LinusEkenstam So many options to explore the world through the lens of your camera in one device🔥

@BeaversBrothers @warnerbros__1 @Legendary Thanks!

[Alex Ustinov @avinoff]

What do you think? How many scenes from Paprika by Satoshi Kon moved to Inception by Nolan, which was released by @warnerbros__1, @Legendary and Syncopy. He for sure was inspired by Japanese guys from Madhouse.

I've published the recording of a live session with Yuriy Solodovnikov.

Yuriy is a true industry legend who has gone from designing album covers and working on websites for rock stars to becoming a design director in some of the largest fintech projects

What do we always forget in FinTech?

That users interact with brands, not just interfaces.

Wrote a piece on why emotional design matters more than features.

Anonymous testimonials don't build trust anymore.

Swaggy replaced them with:
Real clients logos
A map of global branches

Proof of scale matters, especially in international B2B.

If your website isn't converting the way it should, it might be time for an upgrade, let's talk.

[Alex Ustinov @avinoff]

Huge kudos to Swaggy Agency + founder Anton Vert for their great site

Last year Swaggy Agency upgraded their digital presence.

Swaggy Agency delivers promotional merchandise across 50+ countries.

I helped with some advise on how to turn their site into a business instrument.

[Alex Ustinov @avinoff]

Most case studies fail because they're just pretty pictures.

Swaggy's cases now include:
Industry
Country

This helps potential clients see themselves in the work.

Context turns visuals into trust.
A case without relevance is just decoration.

@pmitu OMG!
