Riviera

Inspired by French Riviera / Inspiré de la Côte d'Azur, Riviera is a visual storytelling platform concept designed for photography lovers to share their life and travel experiences, blogs, and stories through photographs and videos taken along their journeys.

Design

Designed with an ultra simplicity, the template comes with a photograph gallery look-and-feel that gives full exposure to the visual content posted on the platform. Using bold fonts overlapping placed on top of enlarged photographs with a modern-style collage between both imageries and text content, creating a graphic-in-depth layout that is consistent and dynamic . Formatted on a structured grid system, the template is a freeform that makes all the visual elements free in space, producing a moodboard experience without compromising the clarity

Format

Sub-contents are categorized in pop-up library windows with a blurry translucent effect on top of the main content page. Most pop-up windows are designed with a consistent 2-columns spread in alignment to the main layouts. In some cases (narrow or tighter modules), they are designed with a vertical top-to-bottom layout. Pop-up windows are linked to each relevant tagged content or hashtag from the main content.
