It’s going to look like the coolest fucking shelf of penguin books you’ve ever seen. At least, it will eventually…

From the home page, every folder or article, or experiment page will present as cool 70s penguin book cover. Once inside… something a bit more like a typed page… but, I’m not too worried about that.

Structure

Cover grid

There’s an underlying grid to the typical penguin layout

Useful links

Matrix transforms

Found this useful matrix transform toolangrytools.com, handly for getting the transforms right on my ‘covers’ on the index page. Each book is ever-so-slightly on the wonk.

Grainy gradients

I was trying to add a little grain to my gradients on the book covers. The awesome folks at CSS-TRICKS had my back, even if I decided not to use it in the end.
