Color crush

A palette picker for exploring five-color combinations. It cycles through five curated palettes, including warm orange and sage, lavender and navy, and pink with blue. Use it as a starting point for an interface, illustration, or mood board.

How to use it

1. Open the Color crush card on the homepage.
2. Select “Another palette” to cycle through the combinations.
3. Select “Copy hex codes” to copy all five colors into your design notes.

For example, the first palette includes #F4AC8B, #ED6645, #BED0A2, #45554A, and #F6F5F0. If your browser blocks clipboard access, the codes remain visible so you can copy them yourself. Check text contrast in your final design; a palette is inspiration, not an accessibility guarantee.

Type play

A live type-size experiment for short phrases. Try a headline or a few words and see how scale changes their character. It is a quick way to explore a phrase before working on a full layout.

How to use it

1. Open the Type play card on the homepage.
2. Replace “what if?” with your own words, up to 32 characters.
3. Move the size slider from 24 to 100 pixels and compare the result.

Start with a short phrase such as “Make something.” Try 32 pixels for a quieter treatment and 80 pixels for a larger headline. This experiment changes size; it does not offer font selection or export a production layout. Your words stay in the browser and are not submitted to an application server.

Good vibrations

A motion study made from a repeating arrangement of shapes. Adjust its speed to compare a gentle rhythm with a more energetic movement. Use it to think about timing and visual attention when exploring an interaction.

How to use it

1. Open the Good vibrations card on the homepage.
2. Move the speed slider between 0.3× and 3×; 1× is the starting speed.
3. Close the experiment and use the page’s pause control whenever you want to stop movement.

The animation follows the page’s pause state and your device’s reduced-motion preference. It starts paused when reduced motion is requested. If you choose to play, start slowly and pause whenever needed. This is a visual experiment, with no video or animation-file export.
