HeadlinesShort, punchy, and often stylized (e.g., the inverted 'Look').
CTAsMinimalist and direct, focusing on content exploration.
Don't use heavy drop shadows or blurred backgrounds — screenshot shows flat, crisp image presentations.
Don't use bright, saturated neon accent colors — screenshot shows a strict monochrome palette with images providing color.
Don't use a bubbly or rounded UI — screenshot shows sharp corners and straight, thin divider lines.
Don't use playful, script, or decorative fonts — screenshot shows a clear mix of transitional serif and geometric sans.
Don't use complex, multi-layered gradients — screenshot shows solid white backgrounds and flat color blocks within images.
Don't clutter the interface with many UI controls — screenshot shows a minimal top navigation and focus on content.
Avoid: Loud, neon, or overly saturated color palettes
Avoid: Heavy drop shadows or soft, rounded UI elements
Avoid: Dense, cluttered layouts without breathing room

This is a premium agency portfolio for Look Inc, a non-traditional agency with journalism roots. The visual language is defined by a strict black-and-white palette (#FFFFFF background, #000000 ink) that lets high-quality editorial photography stand out. The typography relies on a mix of transitional-serif and bold geometric-sans to create a magazine-like hierarchy. Critical constraints: avoid any vibrant accent colors or multi-colored gradients; never use rounded corners or drop shadows, maintaining a sharp, clean grid; and avoid dense, cluttered layouts, ensuring generous white space between sections to preserve the sophisticated, editorial tone.
