Engaging website for a New York–based architecture and construction studio, balancing bold typography, immersive imagery and a minimal editorial layout.
Where should the photo live - behind the words or beside them?
Same pilates studio, same headline.
01 - Photo as the background. Full-bleed atmosphere: the room wraps around the words. Immersive and cinematic, but the text only survives thanks to a darkening overlay laid over the image.
02 - Photo beside the text. A clean split: words on calm ground, the room in its own column. Everything readable at a glance, the trade is a little less drama.
One sells the feeling. The other sells the clarity. Which hero would make you book the class?

What's your one-rule brand? Tell me.
Most jewelry brands photograph the object. This one photographs the grip.
AQUILIFER — a brand I built around one idea: jewelry as something carried, not worn.
Case study + full site now live.
The name comes from Roman military rank. The aquilifer carried the standard — the one thing the legion couldn't afford to drop.
That single word killed my first direction before I'd finished it.
No polish. No faceted stones.
Hand-cast, asymmetric pieces, tool marks left visible.
Photography went extreme macro, unretouched skin, hands gripping the face instead of posing near it.
Color system: two darks instead of one dark + accent.
#1E1E1E and #27331A let the brand shift register — campaign world to product world — without ever going light.
#D9DED4 stays structural only. Never a fill.
Motion rule on the site: diagonal masks only. No rotation, anywhere.
A spinning object reads as being shown off. This brand is about weight, not display.
Same angle, same easing, top to bottom.
One idea, held all the way through — name, object, photography, palette, motion.
That's the whole pitch for how I work.
Absolutely love your works!
