Prompt

Create a brutalist website for a creative agency. Brutalism rejects polished aesthetics in favor of raw, honest, and intentionally "ugly" design that paradoxically becomes beautiful.


Design Rules

  • Break conventions intentionally — overlapping elements, harsh contrasts, visible borders
  • Raw HTML feel — visible borders, monospace fonts, system UI elements
  • Typography: Mix of extremely large (8-12rem) and small text, IBM Plex Mono for body, bold sans-serif for headlines
  • Color: Stark contrast — #ffffff base, #000000 text, #ff0000 for highlights. No gradients.
  • Borders: Thick 2-4px solid borders on everything. No border-radius.

  • Sections to Include

  • Header — Fixed bar with agency name in caps, raw links with underlines, no padding
  • Hero — Massive overlapping text (rotated, different sizes), agency tagline, no hero image
  • Work Grid — Hard grid with thick borders separating cells, project images with harsh hover (invert colors)
  • Manifesto — Full-screen section with paragraph of text in monospace, line-numbered like code
  • Team — System-font table layout with names, roles, and emails as raw data
  • Contact — Oversized form fields with thick borders, submit button in accent color
  • Footer — Raw data: copyright, address, email, no styling

  • Anti-Design Patterns to Include

  • Elements that overlap intentionally
  • Text at unexpected angles (CSS transform: rotate)
  • Hover effects: harsh color inversions, not smooth transitions
  • Visible cursor: cursor: crosshair or cursor: cell
  • Mix of serif, sans-serif, and monospace in the same section
