Elias Vent is a free editorial Framer portfolio template for product,
motion, and brand designers.
Who it's for: designers who want a portfolio that looks as considered as
the work in it.
The hero is the centrepiece: five projects on a tilted curve that swings
past as you scroll, section pinned while it plays, each slide full-bleed
photography with the project name in large type over it.
The rest: near-black editorial ground, a scroll-pinned project gallery,
headlines that resolve letter by letter, a custom cursor over the awards
list, image parallax, and an animated gradient shader in the footer
wired to the site's colour tokens. All native Framer.
What you get: a home page (hero, about, principles, services, gallery,
FAQ, contact), case study pages, five populated demo projects, and a
styled 404.

brilliant work!
Two directions. One brand. 👀
I explored the same brand in two completely different visual styles — one vibrant & energetic, the other soft, minimal & refined. Now I want your honest opinion:
Which one would you choose?
🟢 Vibrant & Bold
🤍 Soft & Minimal
Curious to see which direction wins. 👇

Option two feels more organic!
Color Changes Everything
Sometimes, all it takes is a change in color – and the exact same design can feel completely different.
The light version, with soft pink tones and natural textures, feels fresh, light, and airy. It creates a sense of calm, natural beauty, and a closer connection to nature.
The dark version tells a completely different story. A black background immediately adds depth, character, and a sense of luxury. The design becomes more expressive and even slightly dramatic.
So, which version speaks to you more – light and airy or dark and luxurious?

The light version feels much more like the product than the dark version . It feels like nature itself
