## Overview

Creative Mode — Cream paper canvas with confident multi-color (green, pink, orange, yellow) accents and Archivo Black display. Archivo Black typography. warm cream paper background with a saturated multi-accent palette (forest green,. Best for creative agency pitch, design studio deck, ad shop credentials. AI-ready design system. The tension between structured typography and expressive color has defined creative studio identity since the Bauhaus collapsed the boundary between fine art and commercial design. Archivo Black — a grotesque with the density of a woodblock poster face — carries that lineage forward. It doesn't whisper. It occupies space the way a linocut occupies paper: unapologetically, with mass and conviction.

Multi-accent palettes emerged from the same instinct that drove Alvin Lustig and Bradbury Thompson to reject the single-spot-color constraint of mid-century printing. When you layer three or four deliberate hues against a warm cream ground, you're referencing risograph culture, silkscreen editions, and the entire tradition of the artist's proof — work that announces itself as made, not manufactured.

The cream paper texture isn't nostalgia. It's a deliberate rejection of the sterile white canvas that digital defaults impose. Cream absorbs light differently, softens contrast ratios just enough to feel human, and gives every accent color a warmer undertone. Studios that adopt this language are signaling craft over polish, process over perfection.

## Execution Rules

1. Strictly follow the defined visual style.
2. Use high-quality inline SVG icons (Heroicons or Lucide style) — NEVER use emojis as icons.
3. Add `cursor-pointer` and smooth `hover` states (transition-all) on all interactive elements.
4. Required Page Structure:
   - Navbar (Logo + Links + CTA)
   - Hero Section (Impactful Headline + Subtitle + 2 buttons + 3D/Abstract visual element via CSS)
   - Features (3 cards with icons)
   - Testimonials (3 cards)
   - Pricing (3 tiers, highlight the middle one)
   - Final CTA
   - Full Footer with social links, privacy policy, terms of use, contact and SEO links.
5. All text content must be in English.
6. The visual must be CLEARLY distinct — do not create a "default Bootstrap" design. Force the use of the provided design system variables.
7. Use `<style>` tags in the head for custom classes (especially for complex backdrop-filter effects and animations) that Tailwind CDN doesn't cover.
8. Full Responsiveness: Layout must adapt perfectly to Mobile, Tablet and Desktop (vertical stack on mobile).
9. Include basic SEO, Viewport and Open Graph meta tags in `<head>`.
10. Footer must contain: Copyright 2026, Secondary navigation links and Social media icons.
11. Make the creative decisions needed to deliver the complete, functional result now.
