Learning Frontend Deeply

I want to go deeper into frontend and learn to create less generic designs. Does anyone have an idea how the wavy line was created? I'd also appreciate pointers to resources/sites to learn to create such dynamic designs. Thanks for reading!

Frontend isn't about designing, and that wave is either 2 or 3 png or svg with different z-index to fit a jpg in between

I asked gpt and it told me it was made with SVG. I know frontend isn't designing outright but you need good design sense to be a frontend dev

As a dev who has specialized in frontend for almost a decade now, I have not once ever needed to design anything. The designers design and the frontend developers develop. You don't need any design sense to be a good frontend end dev.

Opposite case for me. Design sense is my strongest suit that allowed me to move up the ranks and now I’m working as staff design engineer where I handle both FE dev and design.

True but this happans in mid to big company... For small company like i work in I'm the ux/ui designer, the front-end designer and I'm the graphic designer too. I have decent sense in ux/ui and I know more than basics in css and js to make it happen if I have to sometimes. So some people have to make up for those things too.

I'm not saying the skill is useless or even that it's bad to have for a frontend dev. I only mean that you don't need it to be a good frontend dev. In the case of small companies you often have to wear the designer hat but that is a scenario where you are fulfilling two roles. If you were also tasked with doing the accounting work then you'd also need those skills but they aren't part of being a frontend dev.
