# Design Brief: Vibrant Pop (with Gradient Glow)

Full-bleed high-saturation brand backdrops, oversized bold display type, and high-contrast buttons, common across creator tools and consumer apps.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #401e5b;
  --surface: #502e6b;
  --foreground: #e5e4ea;
  --muted-foreground: #d9d2de;
  --accent: #e94b68;
  --radius: 9999px;
  --font-heading: "Aktiv Grotesk", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Aktiv Grotesk", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #401E5B (~72%) · Surface #502E6B (~12%) · Text #E5E4EA (~7%) · Muted Text #D9D2DE (~4%) · Accent #E94B68 (~5%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Pill; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Customer / Press Logo Strip
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and customer / press logo strip.
- Visual summary: Vibrant Pop (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Muted corporate gray palettes
- Tiny low-contrast body text
- Overly formal enterprise tables

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
