Jordin Palmer

Overview

A dark/light editorial portfolio template built for art directors, designers and studios whose work spans brand, packaging, interiors and campaign photography. Built around a restrained black/white/grey system, tight editorial typography, and interactive detail that most portfolio templates fake — density toggles that actually reorganize the grid, and project disclosures that reveal real credit lines, not just a caption.Fully CMS-driven: add a project or archive piece without touching the canvas. Four pages, one shared navigation and footer, consistent motion throughout.
