Voice & Don'ts
Tone Minimalist, confident, and silent. Headlines No headlines; only small, functional labels like '0%', 'Simone Sniekers', and 'Info'. CTAs No explicit CTAs; navigation is subtle and implied. Don't use drop shadows — screenshot shows completely flat imagery and text without any elevation. Don't add UI borders or outlines — screenshot shows clean edges between the gradient background and the image. Don't use multiple font sizes or weights — screenshot shows a uniform 16px/400 weight across all text. Don't use traditional navigation bars — screenshot shows only a few text labels anchored to the bottom. Don't use a white or light neutral background — screenshot shows a dominant, vibrant orange-to-yellow gradient. Don't clutter with multiple content cards — screenshot shows a single, centered photographic image as the primary focus. Avoid: Avoid complex layouts, excessive text, UI borders, shadows, or standard UI components.

Design a minimalist photography portfolio with extreme UI restraint. Use a vibrant gradient background (orange #E95531 to yellow #EDAB1E) as the primary canvas. Typography must be Neo-grotesque-sans (Neue Haas Grotesk) at a uniform 16px/400 weight for all labels. Layout centers a single, high-fashion photographic image on a full viewport. Critical donts: no drop shadows, no UI borders, no multiple font sizes, no traditional navigation bars, no white backgrounds, and no content cards. The experience should feel like a silent, high-end gallery exhibition where the imagery is the absolute hero.
