DSCVR

The whole palette comes out of one 333-byte file. stripes.svg holds three right-leaning wedges anchored to the left edge, filled process yellow #fff100, process magenta #eb008b and process cyan #55c4ec, each set semi- transparent so the three overprint each other. Flatten that stack on white and you land within a few units of the colours the stylesheet names: butter yellow #fff88b, coral pink #f697a2 and dusty blue #98bbd3. The pastel palette is CMY printing ink laid over itself, used as a brand device. Those three hues then run the site one per surface: the Portfolio card is blue, the Contact card yellow, the event card pink, the program paragraph sits on a full yellow block, and the footer takes #98bbd3 between two #518cb4 rules. Buttons are coral pink with a hard three pixel black border, turning #ee394e and skewing 20 degrees on hover, the same right lean as the wedges. The desktop nav underlines animate out in blue, yellow and pink, in that order.

The typography stays plain and lets the drawings carry the show. Body copy is Helvetica with Roboto behind it at 16px, and headings are the same face at weight 700; Roboto Slab is bundled but wired only to a utility class nothing uses, so the rendered site is entirely sans serif. The DSCVR wordmark is raster artwork rather than live type: black all-caps, five letters, letterspaced wide enough to carry the strapline under the right half of the word, with the three stripes running off the left edge behind the D. The imagery is where the identity is most itself. Every show image is a hand-vectorised black-and-white portrait of a real person, heavy black fill for hair and dark clothing, open white for everything light, each figure standing on one thin ruled ground line. There is not a single photograph of a student anywhere on the site. The desktop hero is all thirteen of them in one 4000 pixel wide group drawing; below 642px that is swapped for a five frame slideshow splitting the same class into its web, illustration, branding, print and social media teams; the two faculty are drawn in the same hand and dropped onto the coloured cards with mix-blend- mode: multiply. Colour never goes inside a drawing, only across it as a stripe.
