# Design Brief: Vibrant Pop (with Retro & Nostalgic)

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: #080808;
  --surface: #000000;
  --foreground: #f5f2ef;
  --muted-foreground: #b8b1aa;
  --accent: #b71912;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Oswald", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Oswald", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #080808 (~57%) · Surface #000000 (~17%) · Text #F5F2EF (~15%) · Muted Text #B8B1AA (~4%) · Accent #B71912 (~7%). 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: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Outcome & Speed Promise
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Customer Logo Wall
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Vibrant Pop (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and product ui screenshot / component 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.
