Profesh with a bit of spice
So the Home page and About Me will be put together. I know how to style the website, but the coding part has got me fuzzy. Use the Blackbox AI extension on VS Code to assist you with the coding.
Thanks for the help, really appreciate it <3
Here’s the gist of it:
- Color Palette: To combine both aesthetics, we’ll use rich, moody tones from the dark feminine side but incorporate clean, professional accents to keep it business-friendly.
• Deep Plum (#4B284A) – A regal, mysterious color for backgrounds or headers. Use it sparingly for impact.
• Steel Blue (#4D6372) – A professional, muted tone for accents, buttons, and subtle highlights.
• Dusty Rose (#D5A6BD) – A feminine, soft touch for highlights, hover effects, or subtle accents.
• Charcoal Gray (#2C2B2B) – For text and neutral backgrounds, keeping the design professional and readable.
• Faded Ivory (#F0E1DD) – Light background or text color, balancing the darkness with sophistication.
• Rose Gold (#B76E79) – Use sparingly for accents or buttons to give a touch of elegance and glamour.
- Font-Family: We’ll mix bold, elegant fonts from the dark feminine/old Hollywood aesthetic with clean, modern fonts that maintain readability and professionalism.
Headlines & Titles: • Cinzel or Playfair Display: Both fonts are elegant and bold, with an old-world, glamorous Hollywood feel.
They’ll make your headlines (e.g., section titles or project names) stand out while adding that dramatic flair.
Body Text: • Open Sans or Roboto: These sans-serif fonts are modern, readable, and clean, perfect for longer sections like your bio or project descriptions. They add the necessary professionalism and clarity for corporate audiences.
Buttons/CTAs: • Raleway or Montserrat: These fonts are minimal and modern, making them great for call-to-action buttons, navigation links, and forms.
- Layout and Structure: We’ll maintain a corporate structure but weave in creative flair with design choices like textures, borders, and fonts.
Home Page: • Headline: Use Cinzel or Playfair Display for the main header like “Welcome to [Your Name]'s Portfolio.”
• Subheadline: Keep it professional, but make it cinematic. For example: “A Creative Professional Leading in Design and Branding.”
• Layout: The home page should have a full-width banner with your name and CTA, similar to a Hollywood tabloid headline, but in a corporate color palette (steel blue and deep plum).
• CTA Button: Style your button in rose gold with Raleway text like "Explore My Work."
- About Me Section: Give this section a cinematic, bio-like presentation but with a professional twist. Layout: • Two-column layout: On one side, use a professional headshot; on the other, your bio text. This structure keeps it formal while still adding a storytelling element.
• Bullet Points: Present career highlights or key achievements in clean bullet points for clarity and professionalism.
Design Elements: • Headline Font: Use Playfair Display in deep plum for your "About Me" title.
• Text: Use Open Sans in charcoal gray for body text, keeping it highly readable and professional.
• Background: A subtle faded ivory or light gray background for a clean, elegant look.
- Skills Section: This section can be presented with clean, corporate structure but using elegant touches from the dark feminine side.
Layout: • Skills Grid: Use a grid or two-column layout to organize your skills into categories like Design, Web Development, Project Management.
• Progress Bars or Icons: Keep it sleek, using steel blue or rose gold for progress bars or small icons.
Design Elements: • Headline Font: Use Cinzel for the "Skills" title to maintain that elegant, strong presence.
• Body Text Font: Use Roboto for the skill names and descriptions to keep things modern and clear.
• Hover Effects: Add a hover effect using dusty rose to highlight each skill, giving it a soft but impactful touch.
- Projects Section: Present your creative projects as case studies, but with a Hollywood gallery flair.
Layout: • Grid or Carousel: Present your projects in a grid layout with each project featured in its own card. You could also use a carousel for a more cinematic presentation.
• Project Cards: Each project card should feature an image (e.g., logo, photography, or moodboard) and a brief description of the project.
Design Elements: • Headlines: Use Cinzel or Playfair Display for project titles to evoke drama and elegance.
• Project Descriptions: Use Open Sans in charcoal gray to keep descriptions professional and readable.
• Frames: You could add a subtle border or frame around each project in rose gold, mimicking an old Hollywood photo frame but in a minimal, modern way.
• Background: Keep the background clean with light gray or faded ivory, allowing the project visuals to stand out.
CTA Buttons: • Text: Use Raleway for "View Project" buttons.
• Color: Style buttons in rose gold or steel blue with a hover effect in dusty rose.
- Work Experience Section:
Present your career timeline with a polished, corporate structure, but add elegant accents to give it personality.
Layout: • Timeline: Use a vertical timeline to show your professional journey, with job titles, companies, and years.
• Icons: Add small, minimalist icons (e.g., briefcase for jobs, graduation cap for education) to break up the text.
Design Elements: • Job Titles: Use Cinzel or Raleway in deep plum to give job titles a bit of elegance while keeping it professional.
• Descriptions: Use Open Sans in charcoal gray for clear, concise job descriptions.
• Accent Colors: Use steel blue for small accent lines or dots in the timeline.
• Background: Light gray or faded ivory, keeping the section clean and structured.
- Contact Section: Keep the contact form simple and professional, but with elegant, feminine touches.
Layout: • Form Fields: Use a single-column layout with fields for name, email, and message.
• Submit Button: Keep the button in a strong rose gold or steel blue with a hover effect in dusty rose.
Design Elements: • Headline Font: Use Playfair Display for the section title ("Get in Touch") to maintain elegance.
• Body Font: Use Raleway for form labels, keeping it modern and professional.
• Form Background: Light gray or faded ivory to maintain a polished look.
• Button Text: Use Montserrat in white on a rose gold button for a chic, elegant look.
