2026-07-10 THE PINBALL AUTHOR A personal site built as an electromechanical pinball table. Apps are pop bumpers, essays are rollover lanes, and books stand in a bank of drop targets — launch the ball and keep the work in play. 2026-07-03 CHLADNI Dust a plate with sand and bow its edge: the grains flee everything that vibrates and gather where the wave stands still. Ernst Chladni's 1787 figures, computed live in your browser — strike the plate and watch the sand find silence. 2026-07-02 MANICULE Five hundred years of book typography with nowhere to hide: one narrow measure, one wide living margin, black ink for the text and red for what matters. A little hand walks the margin as you read — follow it. 2026-06-29 ARABESQUE Paris, 1900 — the whiplash line takes over. Wrought-iron arches, climbing tendrils and gilt rules are drawn live by your browser, never as images; every section is a panel in an illuminated programme, and the vines grow themselves in the moment you arrive. 2026-06-28 OVERPRINT Two inks, one sheet, printed live in your browser. Blue and red lie a hair out of register until the press locks them in — move your pointer and the colours separate again, mixing a third wherever they overlap. 2026-06-26 TITLE SEQUENCE A personal site staged as a film's opening titles. Nothing fades in politely — it cuts: kinetic type snaps to its mark, a duotone bar wipes the frame, and every section is a scene that hits on cue. Scroll runs the reel. 2026-06-25 TRUCHET One square, two arcs, an endless weave. Sébastien Truchet's 1704 tile — drawn live in your browser, never an image — paves every surface here. Nudge the field and the current finds a new path around your pointer. 2026-06-23 METROPOLIS Art Deco for the machine age — gilt sunbursts, stepped skylines, chevron friezes, every section mirrored on a central spine. A personal site built like the lobby of a 1929 skyscraper, and the marquee lights itself the moment you arrive. 2026-06-22 STRATA A site built in depth, not in scrolls. Every section is a plane floating at its own altitude — panels shingle over each other and the hero sits proud of a block of pure colour. Move your pointer and the layers drift apart to show the air between them. 2026-06-17 THE SPECIMEN SHEET A one-person foundry's specimen sheet — except the typeface on show is a person. Names fall in waterfalls of size, every entry wears its point size and weight in the margin, and the headline is yours: type into it and drag the scale to re-set the specimen live. 2026-06-15 SLIPSTREAM A site tuned to your scroll. Headlines run against the current, type-bands pick up speed with every flick of the wheel, and every section arrives at velocity — here motion isn't decoration, it's the architecture. 2026-06-12 MEMPHIS MILANO In 1981 a Milanese gang led by Ettore Sottsass decided design didn't have to behave. Terrazzo, squiggles, clashing candy colors, geometry stacked like toys — a personal site dressed as a showroom totem, tilted a few degrees off its axis. 2026-06-10 MOIRÉ Nothing on this page is an image. Every texture is two fields of fine concentric lines, a few hertz apart, drawn live by your browser in a single indigo ink — move your pointer and the interference moves with you. 2026-06-02 THE DEPARTURES BOARD A 1970s split-flap Solari board in an airport terminal. Apps board at their gates, posts are boarding-pass stubs, books ride the carousel as luggage tags — and the board clacks itself awake on every visit. 2026-05-02 ANALOG HI-FI ANALOG HI-FI — designed May 02, 2026 2026-04-08 THE WEATHER MAP THE WEATHER MAP — designed April 08, 2026 2026-03-10 THE DETECTIVE'S CORKBOARD THE DETECTIVE'S CORKBOARD — designed March 10, 2026 2026-03-07 THE CODE EDITOR THE CODE EDITOR — designed March 07, 2026 2026-03-06 THE AVANT-GARDE EDITORIAL THE AVANT-GARDE EDITORIAL — designed March 06, 2026 2026-03-02 THE SUPERMARKET CIRCULAR THE SUPERMARKET CIRCULAR — designed March 02, 2026 2026-03-01 THE SWISS ARCHIVE THE SWISS ARCHIVE — designed March 01, 2026 2026-02-28 THE ARCANA SPREAD THE ARCANA SPREAD — designed February 28, 2026 2026-02-27 THERMAL RECEIPT THERMAL RECEIPT — designed February 27, 2026 2026-02-26 THE SPIRAL NOTEBOOK THE SPIRAL NOTEBOOK — designed February 26, 2026 2026-02-25 HACKER CLI TERMINAL HACKER CLI TERMINAL — designed February 25, 2026 2026-02-24 VHS RENTAL VHS RENTAL — designed February 24, 2026 2026-02-23 PAPERCRAFT PAPERCRAFT — designed February 23, 2026 2026-02-21 RECORD CRATE RECORD CRATE — designed February 21, 2026 2026-02-20 COMIC BOOK PANELS COMIC BOOK PANELS — designed February 20, 2026 2026-02-19 FIELD EXPEDITION FIELD EXPEDITION — designed February 19, 2026 2026-02-18 AUCTION HOUSE CATALOGUE AUCTION HOUSE CATALOGUE — designed February 18, 2026 2026-02-16 CONSTRUCTIVIST POSTER Bauhaus CONSTRUCTIVIST POSTER Bauhaus — designed February 16, 2026 2026-02-15 PIXEL DESKTOP Windows 95 PIXEL DESKTOP Windows 95 — designed February 15, 2026 2026-02-14 LOVE LETTERS Valentine's Day LOVE LETTERS Valentine's Day — designed February 14, 2026 2026-02-13 control-room visual overhaul across layouts, styles, and scripts control-room visual overhaul across layouts, styles, and scripts — designed February 13, 2026 2026-02-12 BROADSHEET GAZETTE BROADSHEET GAZETTE — designed February 12, 2026 2026-02-11 CITY TRANSIT ATLAS CITY TRANSIT ATLAS — designed February 11, 2026 2026-02-10 TROPICAL RESORT TROPICAL RESORT — designed February 10, 2026 2026-02-09 NOIR DOSSIER NOIR DOSSIER — designed February 09, 2026 2026-02-08 BLUEPRINT BLUEPRINT — designed February 08, 2026 2026-02-07 DESERT DUSK Warm earth tones, editorial elegance. 2026-02-06 SYNTHWAVE Neon gradients, retro-futuristic glow. 2026-02-05 INK & PAPER Minimal monochrome, typographic clarity. 2026-02-04 NEUBRUTALISM Bold borders, raw energy, anti-design design.
