Homepage and project structure

Use a single opening image and one primary action. For a live music set, build a full project page visitors can reach from the first screen. Use one wide crowd frame, an expressive stage portrait, and a detail that locates the event.

Plan a project and inquiry path

Use a sample brief built around the live set with a limited photo pit window. Organize the portfolio around venue wide shot, performer close-up, and crowd response. On the inquiry page, ask for venue, set times, and publication deadline so the first reply can address the scope of the work.

Decide what belongs in the captions

Give the reader enough context to understand the choices in the images. When relevant, explain how you worked with credentials, access window, and press turnaround. Keep details that affect pricing or availability on the service or inquiry page.

Make it your own

Replace the sample images and copy with your work. Decide whether the inquiry action belongs next to the portfolio or on a dedicated service page. Plan the desktop and mobile compositions as separate passes, then verify both after publishing.

Platform setup

This is a browser-based design study. A native Showit template file is currently unavailable.

Show scale and atmosphere

Lead with a frame that conveys the energy of the set, then give the reader enough context to place the venue or performer. For a press assignment, identify the images needed first and explain any limits on access or turnaround in the brief.
