Five directions.
All five open with the same hero: the question, alone on screen, with the same slow word-by-word reveal over a video ground. They now share the display face as well, and a set of fixed components. What changes is STRUCTURE: the order of the argument, how dense each one is, and where the fixed pieces are placed.
Revision 5, 15 October. Newsreader throughout, so typeface is no longer the variable. The Conversation is now The Proof in light mode on a beige ground, which makes it a surface comparison rather than a sixth argument. Fixed on all five: the results scale, the owners list, the funnel blueprint, the AI section as a full-bleed ground, and a slat band of client work above the night sky. The offer stack map is placed differently in each, on purpose. Imagery and the hero video are captioned placeholders until real client photography arrives.
Newsreader, midnight
Held back on purpose, and almost entirely typographic. Minimal ornament, images used only as punctuation, type carrying the whole argument.
02Newsreader, sand (light mode)
The Proof, printed rather than projected. Same sequence and same components on a beige ground, to see whether the argument holds in light.
03Newsreader, midnight
Evidence first, for the owner who has been sold to before. Documentary imagery, numbers and client names early.
04Newsreader, midnight
Shows the work itself. Drawn strategy documents, funnel blueprints and offer maps, so discernment is an output rather than an adjective.
05Newsreader, midnight
Leans into what the name means. Atmosphere, the forge, embers that swirl. The furthest out of the five, deliberately.
