Apply it to a sample brief

Try three short groups: founder portraits, workspace, and product-in-use images. Compare the sequence on a phone and place captions where the project context would otherwise be unclear.

Build the page

Start with a frame that tells visitors what they are looking at. Follow with medium and detail shots. Compress exports and describe informative images in plain language.

Edit a nine-frame gallery

Start with twelve candidate images. Remove any frame that repeats another angle, then order the remaining images around context, action, and detail. Write short captions where a subject, place, or production choice needs explanation.

Choose frames with different jobs

Use a wide frame to orient the viewer, then a close frame to reveal a material, gesture, or production choice. If two images tell the same part of the story, keep the stronger one. Look at the pair on mobile before deciding where captions belong.

Check it before launch

Check the first few images on a mobile connection and verify that the layout stays stable as images load. A viewer can describe what the project was about after the first three images. Check exports at the width where they are displayed and make sure no crop cuts through a key detail.

Working in Showit

Compare the desktop and mobile views before publishing. Check whether the reading order, line breaks, and call to action still make sense when the layout is rearranged for a narrow screen.
