Design

Status: visual direction open

No design system, palette or type scale is chosen yet. Seven mockups under src/mockups/ each commit fully to a different direction; the maintainer will pick one, or combine several, and this file then records the chosen direction as tokens and rules. Until then, do not treat any single mockup's palette or fonts as the house style.

The candidate directions

# Folder Direction
1 01-editorial Editorial scroll: horizontal line, parchment and serif, motifs as thin threads
2 02-vertical-story Vertical story: downward scroll with a sticky detail panel
3 03-transit-map Transit map: motifs as metro lines, songs as stations
4 04-greek-frieze Greek frieze: an unrolled black-figure vase frieze
5 05-score Score / waveform: staff or waveform, parts as segments
6 06-constellation Constellation (3D, three.js): songs as stars
7 07-sea-voyage Sea voyage (3D, three.js): ship, sea, saga islands

Details per direction: docs/specs/001-timeline-mockups.md.

Constraints that hold for every direction

  • Fonts are self-hosted from @fontsource/* (installed: Cormorant Garamond, Inter); nothing from a CDN.
  • three.js only where a direction is 3D.
  • Motif colours come from the data (Motif.color in src/data/sample.ts), so threads match across views.
  • The fan-credits footer (src/shared/credits.css) is present on every page; a direction may restyle it but not remove or hide it.
  • Avoid generic, templated "AI-looking" UI; a direction that is just another layout in different colours has failed.
