Variations

The 'Vincent' template offers four versions to start off with. Each one comes with a base palette of complementary colors. With each variation, you can use the existing colours and simply add content, or adjust the colors and design options.

  • Sombre: A retro background and pink accent colors make this variation a luxuriously moody look - great for a hip hop or R&B artist.
  • Neutral: The greyscale palette and simple fonts of this variation provide the perfect backdrop for content-focused accents. Metal bands can work well with this template.
  • Elegant: With slightly transparent sections hovering over soft blue, choose this version for a synth-pop or desert rock project.
  • Playful: This is a trendy, sharp color palette which contrasts yellow and black for a powerful template. If pop-punk or power-pop is your genre, this variation is a great jumping off point.

'Vincent' template tips:

  • Choose a page background image that sets a neutral, branded ambience for your project.
  • Change the header image on each of your pages that works well with the content of the page.
  • Choose up to 4 major colors and apply them throughout your section styles. In ‘Edit Content,’ you can adjust each section on your pages to make a unique, patterned look.
