## Overview

A refined portfolio for a photographer and director with strict editorial restraint

*A high-end printed magazine layout translated to the web*

## Colors

Strictly monochrome ink on a warm, off-white ground with zero color accents

- **Background (`#F2F1EC`)** — uses `bg` token
- **Primary text (`#000000`)** — uses `ink` token
- **Secondary text (`#5D5B5B`)** — uses `ink-soft` token
- **Muted (`#BBBBBB`)** — uses `muted` token
- **Borders (`rgba(0,0,0,1)`)** — uses `line` token

## Typography

- **Display:** didone-serif
- **Body:** geometric-sans
- **Mono:** monospace

## Layout

A two-column layout with text navigation on the left and a large featured image on the right

*Rhythm:* Generous vertical spacing with a consistent 30px header padding

## Elevation & Depth

- Borders: A single 1px horizontal rule separates the header from the content area

## Shapes

- `sm`: 0px
- `md`: 0px
- `lg`: 0px
- `pill`: 0px

## Components

- **button:** Text-based navigation links with a simple underline on hover
- **card:** None; content is presented in a flat list with large category titles
- **chip:** None
- **input:** None
- **hero:** Full-width typography-driven header featuring the photographer's name

## Do's and Don'ts

**Don't:**
- don't use vibrant accent colors — the screenshot shows a strictly black and white palette on cream
- don't use rounded corners — the screenshot shows a completely flat, rectangular aesthetic
- don't use drop shadows — the screenshot shows a clean layout without depth effects
- don't use small, dense paragraphs — the screenshot shows generous whitespace and large headings
- don't use decorative sans-serif fonts for headings — the screenshot uses a high-contrast serif for display
- don't use complex grid overlays — the screenshot relies on simple alignment and whitespace

## System Prompt (paste into AI agent)

```
This website is a refined portfolio for a photographer and director named Christopher Ireland. The design DNA is built on strict editorial restraint, utilizing a warm off-white (#F2F1EC) background and purely monochrome ink (#000000, #5D5B5B). Typography is the primary expressive tool, featuring a Didone serif for large display headings and a geometric sans-serif for body text. The layout is characterized by extreme generous whitespace and a clean two-column structure. Critical constraints include avoiding any vibrant color accents, eliminating rounded corners or drop shadows to maintain a flat, printed feel, and refraining from any complex decorative UI components. The overall tone is sophisticated and quiet.
