Key Takeaways

• Build the interface as a dark browse shell where artwork is the product and chrome exists to support it.
• Lead with one dominant billboard card, then continue discovery through shelves, rails, and stacked merchandise modules.
• Keep utility controls compact and bright only where they need to cut through the dark field.
• Use cinematic key art, box-art crops, genre tiles, and promotional banners as the primary visual material.
• Keep artwork high contrast and saturated against nearly black chrome.
• Organize many artworks through disciplined rails and rounded card frames.
