Depth components and templates

A continuous underwater descent through a pointer-responsive kelp forest, drifting marine snow, twilight water, and midnight bioluminescence, with a rotating typographic ring and four interactive WebGL illustration plates.

Rings of type stacked into a receding funnel instead of one flat plane, each ring riding up past the next as the pointer moves, with a near/far light ramp shading the depth and motes drifting in the gaps between layers.

The stack laid flat as open water: twenty bands of type bent along a sine and spread from a horizon to the foreground, each one running a beat behind the one in front so the swell travels out of the frame.

The stack read as a range: seven ridged silhouettes with type packed under each crest and thinning into the shadow below, separated so the front range travels ten times as far as the back under an ember dusk.

The stack grown into a tree, where one layer is one branch: every limb is a strip of type pivoting on its own foot, carrying a depth drawn at generation time, so the crown opens into a volume in a green-black wood.

The authored field with nothing taken from it: a flat lattice of dots with a crest travelling out from the centre, warming to amber as it passes. Only the page's editorial layer is gone, so the background is the field and nothing else.

The same field on a ground plane instead of a table: ridged fractal ranges in brown stone standing off behind a scree floor, with the authored crest sweeping over them and its embers turned to a low sun on rock.

The same ground plane as forested hills, under a closed conifer canopy laid out in lattice space so a crown is always a few dots wide, with the accent turned from orange to the green-gold the light comes through as.

No terrain at all: four crossed wave trains rolling back to the horizon, glitter carried in lattice space, and the authored crest expanding across the water with its accent turned to the blue the sea throws back.
