SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Designing a creative-studio or portfolio website often results in generic card grids and inconsistent motion. This Skill provides a structured playbook for building portfolio pages as a sequence of distinct editorial chapters where project work leads the story, with concrete layout, typography, motion, and accessibility rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Chapter-Based Page Composition: Defines a narrative structure from campaign hero through color-coded project chapters, oversized service typography, and a decisive contact finale.
  • Signature Interaction Patterns: Specifies editorial project panel reveals, oversized service handoffs, and motion defaults with exact timing values (160–220ms feedback, 500–760ms entrances).
  • Worked Interaction Prompt Pack: Includes a 12-pattern reference (loaders, pinned chapters, marquees, sticky stacks, magnetic CTAs) extracted from a real GSAP/ScrollTrigger portfolio.
  • Use Case: Ask your agent to build an original studio portfolio where each case study reads like a magazine cover, with restrained hover states, reduced-motion fallbacks, and no copied source content.

Quick Start

Use $editorial-portfolio-chapters to create an original responsive creative-studio portfolio where the work leads, each project feels like an editorial chapter, and a decisive contact section completes the story.

Frequently Asked Questions about editorial-portfolio-chapters

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an editorial portfolio website with scroll animations?

Structure the page as distinct chapters: a stable campaign hero, color-coded project sections, oversized service typography, and a high-contrast contact finale. Use 500–760ms section entrances, shallow transforms, and clip only image layers while keeping titles selectable.

What motion timing should I use for portfolio website animations?

Use 160–220ms for control feedback and 500–760ms for section entrances. Stagger direct children by 45–70ms with cubic-bezier(.22,.61,.36,1), keep parallax below 5%, and never hijack scroll.

Can I use GSAP ScrollTrigger for pinned portfolio sections?

Yes, the included prompt pack covers GSAP ScrollTrigger patterns like pinned biography reveals, split-door hero handoffs, and sticky recording stacks. Always provide reduced-motion and mobile fallbacks that render complete content without pinning.

How do I make portfolio hover effects accessible?

Keep project titles and actions visible at rest rather than hiding them behind hover. Mirror every hover state on keyboard focus, scale media no more than 1.02, and ensure every panel remains understandable when static.

What are common mistakes when designing studio portfolio sites?

Avoid explaining the studio before showing its work, repeating identical rounded cards across chapters, large parallax, decorative motion loops, and hiding project titles until hover. Never copy source imagery, brand language, or client claims from references.
