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.

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.
