# A composer’s cinematic image universe

> A black, full-screen composer portfolio surrounds sparse central navigation with floating film, animation, and game imagery. A small identity sits at the top, an index control occupies the center, and work, about, and contact links sit below.

## 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 project imagery as unevenly scaled, subtly perspective-skewed planes on a black canvas, allowing the largest images to crop beyond the edges. Preserve an open central corridor for identity and navigation, using widely tracked type and a few understated controls rather than conventional cards. For a new subject, replace the entertainment stills and composer wording with relevant project imagery and labels, and raise secondary-text contrast while retaining the restrained hierarchy.

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, cinematic portfolio for Michael Gatt, with a collection of still-image thumbnails and small navigation labels.

- Color: Predominantly black, with muted blue and teal imagery, occasional warm orange tones, and sparse white text.
- Type: Small, thin, widely spaced uppercase lettering in a clean sans-serif style.
- Framing: Scattered rectangular image tiles sit across a black canvas with generous negative space. The name and navigation are centered among the tiles.
- Structure: Portfolio landing page with image categories and links including Film, TV Shows, Games, Composing, Index View, Work, About, and Contact.
