Background motion graphics for Audeo website — built in Melius

The project

Audeo is a product I'm currently designing. I needed distinctive animated background elements — section dividers that add life to the site without pulling attention from the content.

The process

Started with one base gradient — the source of truth for colors and overall vibe.

Then a node that adds a soft frosted glass layer on top.

From there, 4 parallel nodes generating different variations — one for each section of the site. Same DNA, different shapes and flow.

Final layer: very slow ambient motion on each variation. Movement is visible but never distracting from the actual content.

The whole system lives on one canvas — base → glass → variations → motion. Easy to iterate, easy to extend.

On Melius

Melius gives you real control over the process and access to multiple models in one place. I think the possibilities here are basically unlimited. I'll keep building site graphics in Melius going forward. Project Link: https://app.melius.com/projects/7f66d8db-f731-45bf-9fce-509e20764f06/canvas/e3280417-2c11-45b9-979c-4d26566a1b70

@Contra HQ is quietly building a spend card.

I noticed how it could change my personal world.

So I made an ad for it. A thirty-second anime short in the register of Makoto Shinkai. I built the whole thing on Melius as a single node graph, and what surprised me most was how much could come out of one idea. From one concept, the canvas helped me scaffold an entire brand world. A protagonist character anchor, fifteen scene stills, the typography spreads, the editorial closing frames, the supporting visuals. What used to eat hours of deck-building and reference hunting for me came together in an afternoon.

This was also my first time using Melius for something this ambitious. The canvas made that feel collaborative like all tools were working at once. I could see how prompts were feeding into each other, where my character was drifting between frames, where the aesthetic was holding. The node graph turned prompt writing into composition. Built as a node graph on @Melius. Now on the waitlist. Project Link
