Hypothetical brief
A small creative studio wants its portfolio to feel like an exhibition opening, not a grid of thumbnails.
Design direction
A dark gallery lit by the work itself. Projects are hung in rooms named for times of day; the navigation is the light — a spectrum of every piece, in order.

On a phone, the rooms become a single corridor.
The spectrum stays pinned at the top as a progress bar; works hang one per wall and open with a swipe-friendly viewer.
Navigation as artworkThe room selector is built from the work’s own colours, so the index is also a preview.
Unusual, not obscureSalon-style hanging and slow transitions — with plain buttons, keyboard support and Esc always available.
A viewer that respects the workFull-bleed, no chrome except title and arrows; arrow keys step through the room.
Imagery planIn production, high-resolution project photography and film replace these colour studies, served responsively.
