OBSCURAgency

About OBSCURA

OBSCURA is a portfolio template for independent design studios. Oversized type, black-and-white photography and small technical micrographics give it the feel of a printed studio catalogue, while blur, focus and reveal effects keep every page moving.

Projects, journal notes, services and the archive all run on the CMS, so adding a case study or a note is one new item. Layouts, micrographics and section order stay free on the canvas.

Easy to make your own

13 color styles and 27 text styles control the whole site, with Desktop, Tablet and Phone sizes set for each. The navigation, buttons, image cards and 15 micrographics are components with built-in hover states. Swap images, edit text and change colors without writing code. Change the name, keep the system.

Who it's for

Design studios, art directors and small creative teams who want a portfolio that looks edited, not templated. It suits brand, product and motion work that depends on strong imagery.
