Summary

A portfolio site featuring a deeply textured 3D postage stamp shader inspired by Japanese selvedge denim, black kogei, and obsidian, rendered with intricate relief and dramatic dark lighting.

Visual description

A warm cream page with faint paper grain shows a sparse portfolio layout. Tiny gray monospaced labels and a serif menu with the first item in italics sit at top left, two columns of small profile text at top right, and a large serif headline with an italic word at bottom left. At lower right a loose cluster of tilted postage stamps with perforated edges and soft shadows overlaps, each stamp holding a different graphic such as a green gradient, a black and white logo with dates, a pale mint marbled texture and a Chinese type poster, with part of a large serif word Works cut off at the edge.

Key takeaway

Present work samples as scattered, rotated postage stamps on a quiet cream page, so thumbnails feel like collectible objects while a large serif headline anchors the corner.

Reuse notes

Reach for this as a 3d render reference. Pairs with experimental, textured directions. Original by Bill (Yiqi) Guo.
