storytelling

Cinematic narrative style with full-bleed visuals and emotional impact

Design Aesthetic

Cinematic, full-bleed imagery that creates emotional connection. Story-driven compositions that guide the viewer through a narrative arc. Each slide is a scene in a larger story. Photography and illustration work together to create atmosphere.

Background

Color: Varies by mood - dark for drama (#0F0F0F), warm for comfort (#FDF8F3)
Texture: Photographic or illustrated backgrounds, subtle vignetting

Typography

Primary Font (Headlines)

Elegant serif like Playfair Display, Libre Baskerville, or editorial serif. Large, expressive headlines that complement imagery. Can use italic for emotional emphasis.

Secondary Font (Body)

Clean sans-serif for contrast and readability. Light weight to not compete with imagery. White or dark depending on background.
