Original promptGraphic design portfolio
Prompt

Create a graphic design portfolio index with a clear project list, poster-led covers, quiet metadata, and a layout that feels like a curated template shelf instead of a generic card grid.

Adapt the same graphic design portfolio for a smaller independent designer. Increase whitespace, make captions more visible, and let one hero project dominate the first screen.

Output focus
