## Do's and Don'ts

**Don't:**
- Don't use a clean, modern sans-serif — screenshot shows a mix of blackletter and transitional serif.
- Don't use bright or saturated background colors — screenshot shows a deep, muted forest green (#12332b).
- Don't use high-contrast call-to-action buttons — screenshot shows subtle, text-based navigation links.
- Don't use a complex, multi-column grid with heavy borders — screenshot shows a spacious, symmetrical layout with delicate lines.
- Don't use a playful or whimsical color palette — screenshot uses a restrained palette of cream (#f8f2de) and mossy green (#5a7c6b).
- Don't use aggressive drop shadows or heavy visual weights — screenshot shows very subtle, minimal shadow effects.

This site is a personal portfolio for a software designer named Haley Park. It positions itself as a scholarly, artisanal space for 'software design & assorted tomfoolery'. The primary background color is a deep forest green (#12332b), with text rendered in a creamy parchment (#f8f2de) and a secondary mossy tone (#5a7c6b) for metadata and decorative elements. The typography is highly distinctive, featuring a mix of elaborate blackletter for the main name and elegant transitional serifs for project titles and navigation. Critical design rules include avoiding modern sans-serif fonts, bright or saturated colors, aggressive call-to-action buttons, dense text blocks, and heavy drop shadows. The layout is spacious and symmetrical, prioritizing breathing room and delicate line work over heavy containers.
