Small Bets redesign

I've enjoyed the content Daniel and Louie have put out with Small Bets. That said, a strong business philosophy deserves a strong design presence to back it up.

Daniel is a great copywriter, but his words didn't shine in the previous design. The emphasis of the header and subheader were inverted, reducing the impact of the provocation. Now, it's proper: "Interested in entrepreneurship, Forget about starting a company"

Beyond that, I aimed to highlight the community. Before it was siloed away in an odd sidebar widget. Now it's exposed as a selling point for the program. A last design detail was the centered layout. I found the sidebar layout felt less appropriate for the intent of this site, which is marketing. Genres should be respected unless there's a good reason not to.

As usual, Dribbble in compressing the image has drained all the color away. But just imagine that the image is rich and vibrant.
