Design specification
Idea. The empty part of an image can carry the invitation.
Composition. Monumental dark silhouettes contain pale cut-outs. Titles and entrances inhabit the negative spaces, with burnt-orange margins and almost no conventional container furniture.
Navigation and complete example. Enter six original silhouette studies through their cut-outs, inspect the process behind a work, reverse its figure-ground relation and assemble up to three works in a local exhibition.
Responsive and inclusive behaviour. Each cut-out fills the available width and contains a large labelled button. The complete work index remains visible in reading order. All controls are native buttons or labelled inputs. Movement is discretionary, no sound starts automatically, reduced-motion preferences remove transitions, and a direct index exposes the same content.
Adaptation. Make the empty area a real, legible entrance. Preserve labels and focus outlines when silhouettes become complex. Retain the relationship between navigation and content. Do not reduce the reference to a generic hero followed by interchangeable cards.
