[papers] colored-pencil hero banner with 3-way crossfade on papers.aesthetic.computer
Three Grant-Wood / golden-hour iterations of jeffrey distributing AC papers,
generated via portraits/jeffrey/bin/generate-neo.py with the platter refs:
v1 (washington-crossing) — heroic stride, drones delivering papers
v2 (johnny appleseed) — glasses + working on the green Neo as he walks,
paper-launching backpack cannon, no drones,
pages fall like maple seeds and are caught
v3 (first-person POV) — hands on the keyboard in foreground, ~14 grad
students seated on the grass reading arxiv-styled
papers (serif title bar + AC vignette + two-col
grey body), papers raining in upper-right
Site changes:
- Full-bleed hero banner (100vw, fades transparent → bg with a single linear
ramp so it reads in both light and dark mode)
- Three stacked .hero-bg layers with a 24s ease-in-out crossfade, gated on
prefers-reduced-motion
- Fixed corner-HUD top-bar modeled on give.aesthetic.computer (Times-italic
"papers" + AC pink wordmark, lang-selector top-right, var(--bg)→transparent
gradient strip)
- Times-serif italic for abstracts + colophon for the broadside / journal feel;
paper rows stay Berkeley Mono for legibility
- New papers-og.jpg (1200×630) center-cropped from v2 for social shares
