Pretendard Mono — Korean UX Spec Folio
A monochrome portfolio that reads like a confidential internal spec sheet — heavy black Pretendard headlines on warm-gray ground, with iPhone line-art frames and restrained micro-text chrome as its sole ornament. Distinct from typical portfolio templates by its deliberate refusal of color panels, gradients, or illustration.
This design exists for UX and product designers who want their craft to speak through system rigor, not template flair. It refuses gradient, serif, and decorative color — every element must justify its position on the grid. The iPhone-outline motif is simultaneously functional and conceptual: it signals a designer who thinks natively in device viewports. It is made for designers presenting to other designers, in rooms where restraint is the highest form of taste.
Good for
- · UX and product design portfolio reviews for design-literate audiences
- · Mobile app case study decks with device-frame mockup sections
- · Internal design-system or component-library presentations
- · Korean-market design team pitches where Pretendard-style type resonates culturally
Avoid for
- · Photography or illustration-forward creative portfolios needing rich color
- · Chart-heavy quarterly business reviews requiring data visualization color coding
- · Non-design executive audiences unfamiliar with spec-sheet visual language
- · Brand decks that rely on vivid palette storytelling to convey identity

Black Bar Pierce — Korean Ink Editorial
A pure black-and-white editorial portfolio built around one typographic gesture: a thick black horizontal bar that Pretendard ExtraBold Korean letterforms visually pierce, splitting glyphs between white space and solid ink. No color, no ornament — the bar is the entire brand.
Didone Blob — Editorial Agency Portfolio
A white-ground editorial portfolio slide built around a giant Didone display serif and organic blob ornaments bleeding from corners. Sets itself apart by pairing classical typographic authority with a right-side UI mockup zone and a stark black CTA pill.
Onyx Hash — Flat Icon Grid Portfolio
A pure-black, zero-gradient template anchored by a four-cell vibrant geometric icon grid and an edge-to-edge orange footer band. The hashtag-prefixed display headline sets it apart from conventional dark portfolios through flat-color, social-native graphic language.
