Week 7: The Rough Cut

"Can your story work before JavaScript starts moving it?"

Curriculum content for this week is coming soon.

What you'll learn

  • Translate Figma section designs into semantic HTML structure (hero + story chapters + closing)
  • Apply design tokens from `tokens.css` to layout, type, and color decisions
  • Build reusable section layout patterns in `layout.css` (spacing, containers, rhythm)
  • Establish visual rhythm across sections in the browser (contrast in layout, density, pacing)
  • Adjust layouts for mobile and desktop readability
  • Test that the site remains readable and functional with JavaScript disabled
  • Write real content for the majority (or all) of their sections
  • Prepare a complete rough cut for next week's animation work
  • Integrate Project 1 theme toggle (dark mode tokens, localStorage, system preference detection) into the scrollytelling project
  • Implement GSAP entrance animations using timelines, easing, and stagger for hero and 2+ story sections
