Writing — read the piece

Meant to show
A neurodivergent user who has set the interface to his own contrast, spacing and quiet, and should not have to fight the product to keep it that way.
Asked for
A young man at a bare desk, noise-cancelling headphones on, sliding contrast and spacing to his own settings, nothing else on the surface

The colors are not a choice. They are three hues derived from this piece’s slug and handed to the model as numbers. How these are made.

A drawing

This is a museum label beside a picture. The drawing comes first, and everything about it comes after.

From top to bottom

  1. At the top, the site header: my name, which goes home, then links to Writing, Work, Signal, Tools and Resume, then Set for you, where you choose the drawings, theme and motion.
  2. A link back to all the illustrations.
  3. The drawing, large.
  4. Links to the previous and next drawing, and where this one falls among them. The left and right arrow keys go there too.
  5. The title of the piece the drawing belongs to, with a link to read it. On this page the heading comes after the drawing.
  6. What the drawing was meant to show, what was asked for, and its three colors.
  7. Why these three: how the colors were picked, with a color wheel and the steps.
  8. At the bottom, the footer: a note on how this site is built, links to Illustrations, Pens and Accessibility, this Describe this page button, then GitHub, LinkedIn and email.
