Overview
Hover Reveal Nav is a full-screen navigation overlay component built for creative portfolios, music artists, agencies, and editorial websites. The layout splits the screen into two — navigation links on the left, and a large full-height image panel on the right that dynamically changes based on which link you hover over. Each link has its own dedicated image, creating a rich, editorial browsing experience that feels cinematic and intentional.
Interaction & Animation
The core interaction is a smooth hover-reveal effect. When a user hovers over any navigation link, the corresponding section image transitions into view on the right panel with a fluid animation. The active hovered link switches to an elegant italic script style in red, while all other links remain in bold uppercase — creating a clear and beautiful visual hierarchy. On mobile, since hover isn't supported, the images cycle automatically, keeping the experience equally polished across all devices.
