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!
Exploring two landing page directions for Serein - a skincare brand focused on calm, balanced, healthy-looking skin.
Portrait Layout - with the models as the main focal point and the copy placed alongside the image.
Wide Layout - a calmer, more editorial composition that introduces the brand’s skincare philosophy through a structured content block.
Which direction would you choose for Serein: Portrait Layout or Wide Layout?
Which one feels more memorable and trustworthy for a skincare brand?

Wide layout feels so much closer to calm, balanced than portrait does, that editorial pacing does a lot of work. Was the client on board with losing the immediate face-first hook, or did you have to make the case for it?
Journo Birds
Brand identity, visual system,
and editorial experience
Journo Birds is an independent journalism project founded by a team from Estonia, dedicated to documenting and sharing the traditions, customs, and stories of Moldova. The project required the development of a comprehensive visual identity system that reflects the voice and spirit of independent female journalists.
Conceived as more than a simple logo, Journo Birds integrates a distinctive brand identity with a cohesive graphic language that speaks to freedom, independence, and journalistic integrity. The visual system serves as a vehicle for storytelling across multiple platforms — from editorial content to social media presence.
The identity features a minimalist geometric bird silhouette as its central symbol, representing freedom of speech and the ability to navigate complex narratives from multiple perspectives. The accompanying hand-drawn typography adds a personal, authentic touch that humanizes the journalistic voice while maintaining professional credibility.
A key aspect of the project is its visual consistency across all touchpoints, creating a unified brand experience that resonates with audiences interested in authentic, independent reporting. The carefully crafted design language reinforces the editorial mission while building recognition and trust within the community of readers and followers.
The collaboration between the Estonian Journo Birds team and True Agency resulted in a distinctive visual identity that effectively communicates the project's commitment to independent journalism and cultural storytelling.
So, so good!
