Weird tall. In person, on 55"+ displays, it's impressive. It also works well for mobile; we know this because of short-form social media. It displays relatively large. The digital flexibility is worth pushing past reels and vidz. Jpg+gif 9:16 is a massive creative opportunity. I think it's a pathway fo...

This image is so disturbing. I feel like I pulled off what I was going for and more, considering how it displays in different formats. Like the cover image for this post. Or a square, or pfp.
