6. Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #FF5733 (a vibrant orange to reflect energy and activity)
• primary_light: #FF8F66 (a lighter tint of orange for hover states)
• secondary: #333333 (a neutral dark gray for text and secondary elements)
• accent: #FFC300 (a bright yellow for call-to-action buttons and highlights)

7. Signature Design Concept

The Storm-Crea homepage will feature an interactive "Sports Arena" concept. Upon landing, users will see a dynamic 3D sports field where clothing and shoe items are displayed as players on the field. Users can click on each "player" to view product details, and dragging the field will rotate the view to showcase different items. The field will animate with subtle movements, creating an engaging and immersive experience. The concept will be built using @react-three/fiber for 3D interactions and gsap for smooth animations.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The landing hero will depict a sports transformation: a pair of sneakers will "run" across the screen, leaving a trail that morphs into a dynamic display of sportswear. The animation will loop every 10 seconds, showing the transition from shoes to full outfits, highlighting the versatility and range of products. The animation will be created using motion/react for seamless transitions and responsive behavior.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Intended Interaction Model: Animated
  • The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions, enhancing user engagement without overwhelming the browsing experience.
  • Internal pages will maintain a static layout for clarity, focusing on product details and user account management.

9. Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must ensure secure transactions and protect user data.
• The platform should be responsive and accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.
• The system should support high traffic volumes, especially during promotional events.

10. Tech Stack

• Backend: Python with FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
