System Requirements Document for red-build

Introduction

This document outlines the system requirements for the project "red-build," which is being rebranded into a premium streetwear brand called "NIGHTSHIFT." The project involves implementing a dark mode design with specific color and typography guidelines, replacing placeholder products with mock streetwear items, updating the homepage layout, and maintaining existing cart and routing logic.

System Overview

The "red-build" project, now rebranded as "NIGHTSHIFT," aims to create a premium streetwear online storefront. The design will focus on a dark, high-contrast, editorial aesthetic, with a user-friendly interface and seamless shopping experience. The project will maintain existing functionalities such as cart logic and routing while introducing new product offerings and a refreshed visual identity.

Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a User, I should be able to view the NIGHTSHIFT brand's full-bleed hero section with a massive wordmark and tagline.
• As a User, I should be able to click on a lime CTA button labeled "SHOP THE DROP" to explore products.
• As a User, I should be able to view a 3-column featured product grid with hover-zoom functionality.
• As a User, I should be able to see a "NEW DROP — LIVE NOW" ticker strip that scrolls horizontally.
• As a User, I should be able to navigate using the sticky top navigation bar with the NIGHTSHIFT logo, links (SHOP / OUTERWEAR / ABOUT), and a cart icon with a live item count.
• As a User, I should be able to view and purchase from a selection of 8 mock streetwear products, each with 2-3 size variants and a short description.

User Personas

• Shopper: Interested in purchasing premium streetwear. Values a seamless and visually appealing shopping experience.
• Admin: Manages product listings, updates inventory, and oversees the storefront's functionality.

Core User Flows

• Shopper visits the homepage -> views the full-bleed hero section -> clicks "SHOP THE DROP" -> explores the product grid -> selects a product -> chooses size -> adds to cart -> proceeds to checkout.
• Admin logs in -> updates product listings -> manages inventory -> ensures the storefront is functioning correctly.

Signature Design Concept

The homepage will feature a bold, interactive hero section with a massive NIGHTSHIFT wordmark and the tagline "BUILT FOR THE HOURS NOBODY WATCHES." The lime CTA button "SHOP THE DROP" will invite users to explore the collection. Below the hero, a 3-column product grid will showcase featured items with hover-zoom effects. A "NEW DROP — LIVE NOW" ticker strip will scroll horizontally, adding dynamic movement to the page. The sticky top navigation bar will ensure easy access to key sections.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The hero section will utilize a continuous 2D motion loop built with motion/react. The NIGHTSHIFT wordmark will animate in with a sharp, impactful entrance, followed by the tagline fading in. The lime CTA button will pulse subtly to draw attention. The "NEW DROP — LIVE NOW" ticker will scroll smoothly across the screen, creating a sense of urgency and excitement. The composition will maintain a high-contrast, editorial feel, with sharp corners and subtle grain effects.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The intended interaction model for the LANDING / HOME page is "animated." The hero will include a continuous 2D motion loop with moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions. The design will focus on creating a visually rich first impression, with a high-contrast, editorial aesthetic.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must support dark mode exclusively.
• The design must adhere to the specified color and typography guidelines.
• The storefront must maintain existing cart logic and routing functionality.

Tech Stack
