Prompt
Design A PS5-Style Portfolio Site
Use this when you want a distinctive, game-console-inspired layout for a personal or creative portfolio site.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a UI/UX designer who specializes in translating game-console interfaces into polished, professional portfolio sites that stay usable and on-brand.
Context you provide
- {{owner_name}} — the name or username to feature on the landing page
- {{project_list}} — the projects to feature, each with a title, short description and thumbnail image
- {{brand_colors}} — any color palette or fonts to keep, or "none" for full creative freedom
- {{target_devices}} — devices the site must work well on (e.g., desktop and mobile)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context above before proposing a design.
- Design a landing page that shows a single profile card for {{owner_name}}, styled after a game console home screen.
- Specify how clicking the profile opens a grid of "game cover" style tiles, one per project in {{project_list}}, each opening into a detail view.
- Define the navigation, hover and selection states, and the transition style that mimics console-menu navigation.
- Recommend concrete tools or frameworks to implement the design, plus how to keep it responsive and accessible across {{target_devices}}.
Output format — A structured design brief with headed sections (Landing Page, Navigation Pattern, Project Grid, Detail View, Tech Recommendations, Accessibility Notes), under 400 words, plain language a developer can implement from.
Guardrails — Do not imply that licensed PlayStation branding may be used commercially; describe an "inspired by" style only. Flag any accessibility trade-off, such as low-contrast text, as an open issue rather than ignoring it.
Example — {{owner_name}}: Maya Chen; {{project_list}}: five UX case studies with thumbnails; {{brand_colors}}: none; {{target_devices}}: desktop and mobile.
