And now for something a little different … We’ve been looking to try out this new visual layout technology called Scroll Kit, but didn’t get a chance to really play with it until today. Here’s what we made. Gotta say, being able to kinda approach the same kind of idea a different way was a little freeing, but Scroll Kit is definitely still in alpha, so we fully recommend you know that going in. Things you might take for granted in InDesign, like templates and centering, aren’t really there yet. But you can tell that, if given six months, they might get somewhere really cool. Let us know what you think of this too, by the way. Maybe we might do something with the content idea, even if it’s not in Scroll Kit. EDIT: To be clear, this looks much better in Chrome than anything else. It renders readably in Firefox, but the alignment is off.

This could be interesting. Get the tech out of the way and make it easy to design.
