I always love these redesign post-analysis. I think it's one of the best ways to learn design, especially reading the intentions behind "the purpose" of the design.

That said, I feel it's a little odd that the profile picture on top is unaligned with the rest of the content. No other content is pushed to the left like that so I'm not sure what the purpose of that was...

Hey Kevin, think of it as akin to "hanging punctuation." Since the photo is a circle, I consider its visual "edge" to not be its literal edge.

Notice also how the edge of my face sits along the imaginary line of the left margin.

Thanks for checking it out and commenting, and good work with HackDesign!

Ah I see it now, interesting design choice. Thanks for replying and the compliment!
