The Connect page as a newsstand at night: all 220 partner issues on a two-row shelf grouped by magazine, free titles in two rows, people in one. The wheel scrolls the row under the cursor; quiet controls sit inside each row.

The Connect page as a newsstand at night: all 220 partner issues on a two-row shelf grouped by magazine, free titles in two rows, people in one. The wheel scrolls the row under the cursor; quiet controls sit inside each row.
The cleanest, product version of the DEPO Connect page and the reference rail engine — every section is one row (3:4 partner covers, smaller FREE cards, portraits); the wheel scrolls the row under the cursor, with quiet glass edge zones and a thin "03–06 / 56" progress line inside each row.
The Connect page as a premium kiosk at dusk: one lamp-lit walnut shelf per partner magazine with its issues fanned on it and leaning toward the cursor, free titles on an open rack, people as paper contact cards. All wrapping grids, no sideways scrolling.
The DEPO Connect page as a precise bento grid — the featured partner as a 2×2 tile with its next issues, mixed tall, wide and square tiles with glass captions, FREE as a dense six-column grid and People as a portrait bento.
The DEPO Connect page as a stack of cards: each partner magazine is a near-full-screen card that sticks and is covered by the next one, scaling down and dimming as it goes; free magazines and people follow as quiet grids.
The DEPO Connect page as a wall of all 220 partner issues in four columns that drift at different speeds as you scroll, with a sticky index of the 56 magazines beside it. Free titles follow as a quiet mosaic and the people as a staggered portrait grid.
The DEPO Connect page as a typographic index — one ruled row per partner magazine with its name set huge in a light serif and city, genre, year and issues in small caps; hover a row and its cover floats by the cursor while the rest dim. FREE and People are calm four-column grids.
