   Waquar Shaikh — portfolio
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Art direction: "Signal & Grain".

   A creative technologist's page built like a printed object: warm bone paper
   and deep ink, one hot ember accent, an acid highlight used only as a spark,
   a film-grain texture over everything, and motion that responds to the
   pointer and to scroll. Type is the loudest thing on the page; colour is the
   second loudest.
