# Design Brief: Gradient Glow
Luminous radial glows and translucent glass panels, widely used across modern AI products.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #0c0c14;
--surface: #2c2c30;
--foreground: #ffffff;
--muted-foreground: #b5b5b8;
--accent: #c0392b;
--radius: 4px;
--font-heading: "Helvetica Neue", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Helvetica Neue", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #0C0C14 (~46%) · Surface #2C2C30 (~28%) · Text #FFFFFF (~10%) · Muted Text #B5B5B8 (~8%) · Accent #C0392B (~8%). 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: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Gradient Glow (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.
## Avoid
- Muddy low-contrast text over gradients
- Overuse of full-screen rainbow backgrounds
- Cluttered dense tables in the hero
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.
