Case Study
A great case study doesn’t just show off the final result—it shares the journey. Think of it as an opportunity to walk readers through your process, highlight the tools you used, and explain the creative or technical choices you made. Aim for at least 1000 words, and feel free to be personal and honest along the way.
If your approach is more design-led, that’s great, too! Feel free to include early sketches, wireframes, visual explorations, or style directions. Those can be just as insightful as technical breakdowns.
-
Project backstory What inspired it? How long did it take? Any unique challenges or turning points?
-
Tech stack & tools What frameworks or libraries did you use, and why were they a good fit?
-
Feature breakdowns Pick a few standout interactions, animations, or components. Walk through how they work—feel free to include code snippets if they help explain the implementation.
-
Visual & interaction design Scroll-based effects, transitions, shaders, physics—whatever brings the project to life, explain your thinking behind it.
-
Architecture & structure If the setup was important to the project, talk about how your code was organized, how performance was handled, or how things scaled.
-
Page-by-page notes Especially useful if the homepage, case studies, or other sections used different systems or effects.
-
Reflections Share what you loved, what was tough, and anything you’d improve or rethink next time.
Be generous with your insights—what seems obvious to you might be eye-opening to someone else. The best case studies feel thoughtful, practical, and personal.

For Instagram (if you’re on it), it would be fantastic if you create some slides or share a video with us that we can use to create a post like this one.
