The Hills gallery improved when we reduced the headline and widened the composition around it. More presence did not require bigger letters.
Before: a big heading, an empty edge. The earlier desktop capture shows the problem. The title sat to the left while the space beside it felt disconnected.
The design decision
Smaller type. Wider composition.
Give the whole section a job. We reduced the headline, centered the copy, and brought the grass farther into the composition. The frame could do some of the work.
After: the space works together. The real desktop revision uses smaller letters within a wider, more deliberate arrangement. The grass frames the heading without covering it.
Same words. A different arrangement. On a phone, “CLEAN CUTS. SEE FOR YOURSELF.” stacks above the photographs. The message stays intact; the composition makes room for the screen.
Presence is more than type size.
The gallery is there to show Martin’s own work. The heading, grass, photographs, and controls needed to feel connected without competing for the same space.
Responsive design meant changing those relationships for a narrower screen. The information stayed consistent. The heading did less shouting. The section had more presence.
