A clean, modern portfolio presentation scene on a light gray table, featuring a stack of printed project briefs with bold, full-page data visualizations from men’s tennis studies: colorful serve location maps, efficiency bar charts, and temporal performance trends. Beside them lies a slim silver laptop showing a polished homepage titled "Sports Analytics Projects" with a minimalist, Samford-inspired color palette of navy, red, and white. A clear acrylic tennis court model with etched lines rests nearby as a conceptual centerpiece. Soft studio lighting from two sides produces even illumination and gentle, professional shadows. Photographic realism from a slightly elevated, three-quarter angle, creating a calm, academic, and highly organized atmosphere ideal for a student portfolio.
