Menu Overlay, Object Highlighting

by James

<figcaption>A simple home menu overlay.

I’m reconsidering the placement of the “Visit the Gallery” button, as it obscures the bottom of the scrolling section on the left. Otherwise I’m happy with the font choice, EBGaramond. This is my first time using a variable font for a project, I’d like to experiment more with variable font properties…

A quick draft of looking closely at things.

I’m using Three.JS BoxHelper to outline this object, along with a simple magnifying glass overlayed on the screen. The red outline isn’t that visible, so I might start investigating post-processing render tasks (which involves a fair few more JavaScript files) to get a better outline glow effect. Ideally I don’t want to have to use a magnifying glass in the final result.
