Every page we tried for DEPO, one post each: what it is, how it was built, how it looks.
65 demos
The second version of demo18. Every page has its own address (/demo19/gallery, /demo19/contact-us) and is rendered by PHP for a first visit or a search engine; moving inside the site fetches only the next page's block and plays one of three transitions — drop, side or deck.
The whole DEPO site as one page that never reloads. The header stays put; every opened menu page becomes a slide in a horizontal deck, the old one slides off to the left, and pages already opened keep their scroll. The address changes (?p=gallery) and Back / Forward move the deck.
The community as a constellation on a dark forest ground. Portraits and magazine covers circle the DEPO eye on two tilted rings that follow the pointer and the scroll, then unwrap into a grid of people. Choosing a role turns a second orbit; the close is a ring of faces.
The hero is an open DEPO issue on a deep green ground. Its 18 pages turn in 3D by click, drag, swipe, arrow keys or the contents page, and the first pages turn by themselves as you start scrolling. Below it, faces in parallax columns, a role chooser and the closing call.
Thirty real magazine covers start scattered in 3D around the headline and fly into one wall as you scroll. The wall filters by magazine, then the camera dives into one cover, which becomes the ground of the next chapter. Warm stone, deep green, Bricolage Grotesque.
