What it does

A huge light-on-brown portfolio masthead dominates the opening, followed by a Latest work region, project images, and a dense pale archive table with fine rules.

Section roster

1. Oversized portfolio masthead. 2. Sparse introduction metadata. 3. Latest project imagery. 4. Ruled project archive. 5. Contact typography.

Why it works

The extreme scale shift from masthead to archive gives the portfolio a clear identity while keeping a large body of work easy to scan.

Source and capture notes

Refero [style page](https://styles.refero.design/style/24c54bfb-959d-4ca3-b274-e76ba823f3c0) and [recorded video](https://images.refero.design/styles/refero.design/video/2aeb0b3a-ce03-48ac-b670-58483e1a67b3.mp4); [live site](https://dougalves.work/) checked on 2026-10-04. The recording is a point-in-time reference; current site content may differ. Descriptions distinguish the recording from the current page where they differ. Layout and motion notes come from sampled recording frames and automated live captures; interactive controls were not comprehensively tested.
