The design lab.

All of the images and animations you see on this site comes from a curation of a vision and reiteration. I focused on modularity for them, so I could swap them out with any other interesting aesthetically pleasing items I discover later. Minimalism is what I strived for, so a black and white color scheme, glyph density for tone, and alpha for fading was what I settled on.

I discovered dithering and I had become obssessed with the technique. After iterating through the different algorithms, I settled on the Atkinson error-diffusion one after exploring retro tech and settling on the original Macintosh's illustration techniques. The statues are temple guardians from Hindu and Japanese temples, intended to protect and welcome you into their sanctums. You can use the dithering tool that I developed down below.

All of it is MIT licensed. Take the code, take the images, hang your own guardians. I'd love to see them.
