Design DNA

Pure black single-screen home with a small lowercase wordmark top left and a spaced uppercase nav (Works, Talents, Contact, About). The centre is a swirling spiral of rectangular film stills and campaign frames of different sizes converging on a tiny logo mark, implying motion. A small 'Jour' link sits bottom right. On mobile the same collage fills the portrait frame beneath a larger wordmark and inline nav.

Worth borrowing

Arrange project stills as a spiral converging on the logo to make a showreel feel spatial.
Keep the chrome to a wordmark and four tiny links so the work carries the page.
Mix very different frame sizes in the collage to create depth without 3D.
