Constructivist

Gear Poster

Three SVG gears spin at different speeds while red diagonal bars slam in and slab-type text assembles — all on a dark constructivist grid.

When to use it

Industrial, retro, or constructivist-themed hero sections, loading screens, or ambient poster displays.

When not to

Light-background UIs (bg hardcoded dark). Contexts where constant looping text assembly is distracting to readers.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change the poster words to 'FORGE' and 'WORKS', set --cv06-red to #e87722, and slow the bar slam cycle to 5s. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • text content (GEAR / POSTER)
  • bar animation duration (3.4s)
  • gear rotation speeds (14s / 9s)
  • color tokens (--cv06-red, --cv06-ink, --cv06-paper)
  • gear scale transforms (1.55 / 1.05 / .62)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE with visibilitychange pause
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard in CSS and JS
  • SVG role=img + aria-label for accessibility
  • cv06-gear <defs> reuse pattern
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in CSS — must edit --cv06-bg to change from near-black
  • Gears are decorative and do not actually mesh at correct tooth ratios

More Constructivist components

  • Diagonal ThrustRed and black arrow-tipped slabs sweep along a -28° diagonal axis over a black field; a dark-red disc and a bold type bar anchor the composition.
  • Red WedgeRed wedge drives into a recoiling black disc, scattering shards; bold slab type fades in after impact. Looping Constructivist poster animation.
  • Rotodynamic18 slab bars and word spokes radiate from an off-center hub, rotating at staggered speeds in a Rodchenko red-black-bone palette.
  • Floating FormsSuprematist field: tilted black square anchors red and off-white bars, squares, and a dot drifting in slow staggered CSS cycles on near-black.
  • MegaphoneA Constructivist megaphone emits expanding concentric red and paper-white arc rings across a dark field with bold diagonal bars. Runs autonomously.
  • Montage Cut11 Constructivist cut-outs slide in along diagonal angles then hold; a bold MONTAGE type stack and a slashing red diagonal anchor the composition.
