Design DNA

The whole home page is a five-column masonry archive on white: press clippings, book covers, renders, video stills and Instagram posts, every item boxed in a 1px red keyline with a dated caption in tight bold grotesque and a red arrow to the source. Project images carry a white label box with the project name in caps; publications keep their own cover art, so the page reads as a pinboard of found material rather than a designed layout. Only black, white and pure red are used as interface colour.

Worth borrowing

Frame every heterogeneous item in the same 1px red keyline so mixed media reads as one system.
Caption pattern of date, headline and an arrow to the outlet name, used identically for press, books and video.
Let a white label box with caps project name float over the image instead of a caption below it.
