Styling your portfolio
Hierarchy
Use a consistent typography scale and spacing rhythm so the page feels deliberate and easy to scan. Clear hierarchy keeps the story readable and lets your strongest work lead the eye. Keep headings bold but not oversized. Pair generous line-height with predictable spacing so the reader always knows where to look next, and avoid sudden shifts in size that break the flow.
Color
Pick one accent color for primary actions and keep backgrounds muted so imagery stays in focus. A restrained palette feels more premium and reduces visual noise. Save saturation for moments that matter. When color is used sparingly, the interface feels calmer and the work itself takes center stage.
Motion
Keep motion subtle and fast. A small reveal and quick easing is enough to feel responsive and premium without distracting from content. Motion should support clarity, not compete with it. If an animation pulls attention away from the content, it is too strong; if it adds a touch of polish, it is just right.
