usersteen.ethOn Designing a Profile Page
I'm obsessed with profile pages. Before algorithmic feeds, social media was about spending time on profile pages. It was personal. Users curated their pages based on aesthetics more than social signalling. They communicated with instead of at each other. Gardens. It was dope. Here's my Zora profile:I just noticed the primary display name is $usersteen, my profile's token (which this post is paired with lol) From a design perspective, it's clean. There's a coin-to-social flow that is intuitive...

usersteen.ethOn Rodeo/New Game
There are a million things I wanted to write about this past year but didn't. Thoughts on platforms, my art, $ENJOY, and so on. Many drafts. Many thoughts unsaid. Letting the backlog go feels like a solid plan for 2025. To this point, I've mostly been publishing two projects on Zora: LOBOTOMY_V1, and Still Life. Zora's been screwing around with collections and removed the feature without an announcement. Supposedly, they're coming back, but the initial change forced me to pause those projects...

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.
Zora is an interesting arena because on profiles, images display in squares on web and natural-ratio on mobile.
I'm pressure testing the 9:16 canvas, trying to optimize for multiple formats. This one will be cool on zora, but it won't work as a pfp.
Next image on zora will optimize for all 3. It's worth noting all the 9:16 is 4k, so everything works on large displays too.
It's also worth noting this post is paired with my zora profile.

Diving into the versatility of digital art formats, @usersteen.eth shares insights on optimizing images for different displays. The latest challenge involves pressure testing the 9:16 canvas, balancing aesthetics across platforms like Zora. This exploration highlighted the interplay between mobile and web inbox designs, aiming for maximum impact while retaining function. Stay tuned for more innovations in rounding up multiple format standards!
