Experiments / DECO CODE Lab
Expect The Unexpected.
Identity / Interaction / Typography / Creative engineering
Small experiments, all of them on this site.
Lab / 001Uninvited colour
Make it Feel new.
Lime is the colour that wasn’t invited. It gets one band per page and a few small signals, and every use passes the contrast check.
01 / The approachOriginality with intent
Same rules / New possibilities
Play with the form,
keep the function.
An experiment earns its place when it makes an idea sharper or shows the reader something they need. An unusual layout still has to pass the same checks for contrast, keyboard use and load time as any other page.
02 / The original signalTwo marks / Many roles
Taken from the logo.
Signal / O — Focus / Wayfinding
The point of focus.
Signal / E — Structure / Rhythm
Order. And energy.
03 / Interactive thinkingExperiments that do a job
Four experiments you can see here.
The work grid isn’t a row of equal cards, and the reading order underneath it is still the plain order of the content.
01 / Type
Offset type.
The middle line of every hero steps out to the right as the page loads.
02 / Grid
Unexpected rhythm.
Tiles seven and five columns wide, the second and the fourth set lower.
03 / Nav
Marks with a job.
The O marks a chapter, a selected state or a step in a process.
04 / Access
Nothing required.
Nothing moves if you’ve asked for less motion, and all of it works from the keyboard.
04 / Different worldsReal projects
Two projects, two layouts.
