# Cipher circular media gallery

> A near-black portfolio canvas presents fashion, beauty, product, and cinematic imagery in an overlapping circular arrangement. A large pale wordmark anchors the upper left, with small navigation across the top and a tiny emblem at the center.

## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Recreating this website

This is a visual reference. No original creator prompt is available. The following brief was written by Reference after inspecting the work.

Arrange rectangular media crops along an oval perimeter, varying their dimensions and overlap while preserving a generous central void. Use a nearly black canvas and quiet edge-aligned navigation so the imagery carries the visual hierarchy. For a new subject, replace the fashion and product footage with a cohesive subject-specific collection, and adjust the ring spacing to keep its most important subjects recognizable.

1. Open the live work or source and inspect the frame images below.
2. Adapt its layout, hierarchy, palette, and interaction patterns to the user's own content and brand.
3. Compare the result against the reference. Use your own assets and credit the original creator.

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the captured walkthrough frames, not by the creator.

Minimal, dark portfolio aesthetic built around a collage of photographic image tiles.

- Color: Mostly black and charcoal, with white accents and muted blues, greens, skin tones, and amber.
- Type: Small, restrained sans-serif navigation; a lowercase “cipher” wordmark appears at the upper left.
- Framing: A sparse header sits above a loose, asymmetrical arrangement of rectangular images surrounding a large central black area. A small label appears near the lower-right corner.
- Structure: Repeated full-page layout: wordmark and compact navigation across the top, image mosaic in the center, and a small footer-like label at bottom right.
