Origins

I've been more than a little obsessed with PBS since I tried it, so much so that I wanted to try designing for the profile. I might have gone a little overboard.

On hot pink, the words: The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real. The Vibes logo sits small below

The collages

The alphas stay quiet so the modifiers can get loud. Each one gets its own collage, no two alike.

One modifier's collage up close, fills of red, yellow, orange, purple, blue, green and brown cut across each other inside the rounded shape of the keycap

Three rows of modifier keys seen straight on against a grey background, each with a different collage

The same block of modifiers tilted and floating above a soft shadow

A tight crop on the collages, showing how the printed colors wrap inside each keycap's dish

Colors

Ten colors on a white base, with the pink doing double duty on the legends.

Photography

The samples on a Synovia. I'm not usually a fan of WKL layouts, but this one has me in my feels.
