Ridgeline Builders
Stone and blackened timber at altitude, hidden behind a 240 MB PDF and a pixelated logo.
Ridgeline Builders is an illustrative firm - a concept redesign built to show the approach, not a past client. Your project would be your own work, start to finish.
At a glance
The same firm. One of these is losing them the work.

- 1
Logo pixelated at 2×
The logo is a small bitmap stretched to fit. On any modern screen it breaks apart.
- 2
An award with no name
“Award-winning” is stamped in the header and the hero. No award is ever named, dated, or linked.
- 3
Portfolio is a 240 MB PDF
To see the work you download a PDF that stalls on a phone and never opens on the first try.
What changed
Three decisions, and nothing more than needed.
- 01
The award claim comes down until there is one to name.
- 02
The portfolio is the page itself - no download, no wait, no dead end.
- 03
The logo is drawn as vector. It stays sharp at any size, on any screen.
The redesign
The same firm, built to look like the work.
