## 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.

Build a spatial overview using perspective-tilted image panels around a short centered introduction, then give each chapter a distinct full-screen exhibit. Keep the corner navigation and lower-edge chapter labels consistent while alternating an extreme typographic crop, a centered portrait, full-bleed photography, and overlapping image layers. For a new subject, replace the brand assets and chapter themes with its own visual principles, and derive chapter background colors from the featured imagery.

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.

A polished, editorial presentation of brand foundations, pairing minimal black layouts with typography, product imagery, a campaign scene, and a graphic collage.

- Color: Mostly black and charcoal, with white type and shapes; individual examples add muted neutrals, deep greens, and small bright color accents.
- Type: Small, clean sans-serif interface labels and captions. The typography example features a very large white geometric letterform; the campaign frame has prominent white domain-search text.
- Framing: The frames are arranged in a three-column grid. Within each page, a slim header sits above a spacious central visual, with section number and label near the lower edge and small navigation details at the corners.
- Structure: Six numbered sections are visible: an introductory spread of floating cards, typography, color, photography, campaign, and motion. The final section uses overlapping rectangular brand and image tiles.
