An interaction study for Mare’s collection feed, exploring how to make groups legible within a dense, mixed-format archive.
The layout preserves image proportions and integrates collection labels into the packing system. On hover, image-derived gradients establish the collection boundary, while subtle displacement creates space around the active group without changing its position or scale.
The motion studies isolate assembly, packing, colour and proximity, using real collection content to examine timing, spatial continuity and hover behaviour.

The gradient hover state makes dense collections easier to distinguish.

is the packing your own algorithm?

Love how you preserved image proportions while keeping the labels integrated into the packing system. The image-derived gradients on hover is a smart way to establish grouping without adding extra UI. Really thoughtful interaction study!
