Editions

The front page gets redrawn now and then, and the older drawings are kept rather than thrown away. Each one reads the same posts, projects and art as the live site, so none of them is a snapshot going stale.

How the editions came about →

The poster edition of the nader.io front page

Live Since 26-09-12

Poster

A modular Swiss-poster grid of hairline-ruled cells, one loud green, and the name broken across the right margin.

The agents edition of the nader.io front page

Edition Drawn 26-10-01

Agents

Four named agent cursors assemble the front page in parallel, placing and aligning its writing, projects and art. Pause the build, finish it immediately, or replay the choreography.

The pixels edition of the nader.io front page

Edition Drawn 26-09-24

Pixels

Everything is drawn out of pixels, down to the name, which assembles itself a pixel at a time over a sky of square stars. The panels arrive scattered and stay where they are put, or cut loose in space, where they drift at half size until you click one and it comes in to be read.

The orbit edition of the nader.io front page

Edition Drawn 26-09-14

Orbit

Every post, project and piece of art is a pastel circle in orbit, and none of them holds its course: they wander, they get gusted, and soft drifting distractions pull them off the ring. Catch one and it stops, says what it is, and rings.

The monochrome edition of the nader.io front page

Edition Drawn 26-09-13

Monochrome

One bit per pixel: no grey anywhere. Every middle tone is black and white pixels arranged so the eye mixes them, and the name is drawn from a 5x7 bitmap rather than set.

The 90ies edition of the nader.io front page

Edition Drawn 26-09-15

90ies

The front page as it would have been built in 1997: a tiled starfield, a marquee across the top, Comic Sans, blinking NEW! tags and every section in a bevelled table with a drop shadow. Nothing here is a GIF — the moving parts are drawn, so they stop when you ask them to.

The spring edition of the nader.io front page

Archive Until 26-09-12

Spring

The editorial front page the poster grid replaced. A green display line, the shirt hanging beside it, and everything below it set as plain ruled lists.
