Constructivist

Montage Cut

11 Constructivist cut-outs slide in along diagonal angles then hold; a bold MONTAGE type stack and a slashing red diagonal anchor the composition.

When to use it

Art/design portfolio heroes, editorial layouts with a retro avant-garde aesthetic, or loader screens needing a bold geometric assembly moment.

When not to

Contexts requiring legible text overlays or light backgrounds — background is hardcoded dark near-black and the composition is dense.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change the accent color from red (#d11f1f) to deep orange (#e65c00) by updating the RED constant, slow the assembly cycle to 6000ms by changing CYCLE=4200 to CYCLE=6000, and increase the diagonal bar width from S*0.085 to S*0.11. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • accent color (RED constant)
  • assembly duration (CYCLE=4200)
  • hold duration (HOLD=2200)
  • diagonal bar width (S*0.085)
  • type font size (S*0.115)
  • piece count and layout (def() calls)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • prefers-reduced-motion static fallback (frame(1))
  • DPR-aware canvas sizing
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in CSS and JS — must change in both places
  • Halftone dot loop redraws every frame — mildly expensive at large canvas sizes
  • Type always appears after g>0.55 with no separate delay control

More Constructivist components

  • Diagonal ThrustRed and black arrow-tipped slabs sweep along a -28° diagonal axis over a black field; a dark-red disc and a bold type bar anchor the composition.
  • Red WedgeRed wedge drives into a recoiling black disc, scattering shards; bold slab type fades in after impact. Looping Constructivist poster animation.
  • Rotodynamic18 slab bars and word spokes radiate from an off-center hub, rotating at staggered speeds in a Rodchenko red-black-bone palette.
  • Floating FormsSuprematist field: tilted black square anchors red and off-white bars, squares, and a dot drifting in slow staggered CSS cycles on near-black.
  • MegaphoneA Constructivist megaphone emits expanding concentric red and paper-white arc rings across a dark field with bold diagonal bars. Runs autonomously.
  • Gear PosterThree SVG gears spin at different speeds while red diagonal bars slam in and slab-type text assembles — all on a dark constructivist grid.
