Really cool transforming graphic when page resizes
While the graphic takes up the whole page, there’s nothing actionable associated with the graphic, after a moment my eye starts wandering the page looking where to “enter” or being an experience. I soon find the navigation at the top that remains consistent throughout the experience.
