He is a black silhouette now, and the name sits in front of him.

The colour problem, solved properly. A single fill can’t be readable over both a black body and pale paper: dark type vanishes on him, light type vanishes on the paper. So the name is white with difference blending: it comes out white where it crosses the silhouette and near-black where it crosses the page. One colour, correct contrast everywhere, and the switch happens exactly on his outline. Nothing is hand-placed, so it stays correct at every screen size.

Hover him and he steps in front of his own name. The silhouette is just the real cut-out with brightness turned to zero, so the man fades up in full colour, moves above the type and grows a couple of per cent. Clicking anywhere on him opens the site.

The name doesn’t fade, it goes behind him. The letters that cross his body are hidden by the photograph; the rest of the name stays exactly where it was, dark on the paper. So the word doesn’t vanish, it slips under him, which is what makes him feel like he has moved forward rather than the type having been switched off. Everything else on the page, the press line, the icons and the menu, is untouched.

“Enter” is the one addition: over the colour photograph it switches from blend mode to plain white with a soft shadow, so it holds up against any tone underneath.

On a phone there is no hover, so the silhouette stays and the “Enter” cue is always faintly visible. Tapping him enters.

Everything else is unchanged: a poster, not a homepage. Menu hidden behind the trigger. Two lines of press bottom left, three icons bottom right.

Version 3 of 3: the name goes behind him, nothing else moves.
Version 1: he stays behind the name, only the colour returns.
Version 2: he comes forward and the whole page clears.
