Cutout Citizens

What it is

This is the online portfolio for Redouane Oumahi's Cutout Citizens project. The site showcases contemporary paintings and low-poly character designs, including a shop for physical works and contact information for enquiries.

Visual direction

The site uses a dark, high-contrast aesthetic with a pixelated or dithered texture overlaying the entire screen. A large, low-poly character holding a weapon occupies the central space against a dark grey background. Bold, wide typography is positioned in the upper-left corner, while the color palette is primarily monochromatic with small, vibrant accents of yellow, orange, and blue on the character's sleeves.

Why study it

The site demonstrates a unique approach to texture by applying a consistent digital grain or mesh across both imagery and interface elements. It also shows how to integrate 3D character models as the primary navigational and visual focus of an art portfolio.
