Effects and components for AI agents.

The soft flowing colour field behind half the software marketing on the web, lit by its own slope

The net of focused light on the floor of a pool, worked out from a wavy surface rather than drawn

A stipple drawing where tone is how many marks there are, and the cursor works it up

Two ink plates drift out of registration behind a halftone screen

Blobs that merge and part, raymarched from a distance field rather than modelled

A beam of white light through a turning prism, split into a spectrum by tracing it rather than drawing it

The wind on a weather map, combed into streaks that travel along the flow, with the speed read as colour

A turned metal form rotating in a studio built for it to reflect, with no image files to ship

A topographic relief on paper, printed with its own contour lines

Ink floated on size, dropped and then raked, the way marbled endpapers are made

Two halftone screens laid over each other at a small angle, with the fringes left to emerge rather than drawn

Matte forms on paper, and one sun making a full circuit of them

A discharge branching across a dark sky, built by recursive displacement and deliberately flashing far slower than the real thing

The northern lights on a night sky, folded into curtains and lit from the bottom up

The engine-turned line work off a banknote, printed on paper

Cloth: warp one way, weft the other, and one of them on top at every crossing

Light coming through something and falling across the frame in bands, with the shadow edges going soft as they travel

A drifting stack of translucent paper that goes darker where the sheets cross

Dust hanging in a lit room, built as a field rather than a particle system, with most of it out of focus

The surface of a sheet of paper with nothing on it, lit by its own roughness

A picture arriving dot by dot, the way a halftone comes up on press

A camera iris opening on whatever is behind it, with as many sides as it has blades and a swing as it goes

A heading uncovered by a sheet sliding off it, with the edge of that sheet torn rather than cut

A band at the edge of a scrolling area where the content goes progressively out of focus, built from stacked blurs because a masked one does not ramp

Children arrive on a stagger, held until the container is on screen

Three helmeted busts in a dark room, lit by the cursor carrying the only lamp

A field of matte forms on paper, rippling around the cursor

Iron filings aligning to a magnetic field, with the cursor as the magnet

A viewfinder that follows the pointer and squares up around anything you can press

A burst of sparks where you click, drawn as streaks that shorten as they slow

Type that puts on weight under the cursor, on a line that does not move while it does

An element that leans towards the cursor before the cursor arrives

Smoke off the cursor, spreading and thinning as it drifts

Two or three inks in the same duct, blended by the rollers, with the gradient belonging to the sheet rather than to the letters

Somebody going through a page with a highlighter, marking one phrase at a time, overshooting the ends

A departure board, built as hinged leaves that have to pass through the strip to reach their letter

Hollow letters that fill with ink from the foot up, with the stroke outside the letterform where it belongs

A printing plate slipping out of register, so the word prints twice in two inks

One word in a sentence swaps for another on a loop, in a box sized to the longest so the line never moves

Type set round a ring that closes exactly, because the string is fitted to the circumference rather than placed letter by letter

Type pressed into paper rather than extruded off it, with the impression biting unevenly across the line

A number on wheels, where a wheel only turns while the one below it goes from nine round to nought

A number counting up to the one already written in the element

Text resolving out of a run of cipher glyphs, one character at a time, without the line moving while it does

Type set one character at a time, in the order you choose

Text typed on a machine with type bars: an uneven hand, a breath at the punctuation, and every letter struck a little off square

A strip of content running sideways for ever, leaning with the scroll and reversing when it does

Type on paper too absorbent for it, the ink wicking along the fibres

A line of type comes apart and falls, each letter dropping and bouncing once, with every position a closed form in t

A printer's glass on the page: continuous tone until you look closely, then dots

A search capsule of real glass over a picture, bending and splitting what scrolls behind it

A moving-coil gauge with a scale that lights to the reading and a needle that is never quite still

A lamp moved across a printed photograph, finding the relief in the impression

A contact sheet that opens into a lightbox you can arrow, swipe or play through

A photograph taken apart into points and pushed into depth by its own brightness

A sheet drawn through its own frame by the scroll, leading in the middle and level again when it stops

A slideshow the page scroll runs, on a web that drags and fringes as it moves

A key drawn as a superellipse and extruded, which travels when you press it

A pile of prints being leafed through, where the card changes its stacking order only while it is clear of the pile

A picture set in characters, where each cell takes the glyph whose shape fits the edge running through it rather than the one whose brightness matches

A card under a desk lamp, lit across the face and bright on the near edge

A panel that leans towards the cursor, with a sheen raking across it

Embers lifting off the bottom edge of an element, cooling and slowing as they go, on a transparent canvas

A bar of glass across the top of a page, clear over a hero and frosted once it has scrolled

A grid of tiles where the pressed one opens out to fill the window, and the rules that bounded its cell travel to the edges of the page with it

A full-viewport index that opens as a real dialog and cascades in

The action pill: mono, uppercase, with a slow band of light crossing it
