Confiction began as an idea in our friend James’ head. It evolved as we took those ideas and designed them into something that could be built. Confiction became reality when our friend Jim took those designs and built a backend to power them. What is Confiction? Confiction is a collection of condensed fiction for the digital age. It’s a mastery of conciseness. It’s silly fun. It’s Hemmingway’s “For sale: baby shoes, never worn,” and it’s, “No.” Simply put, Confiction is fiction written in 140 characters or less.
As James was describing his vision to us we had one of those moments where the design solidified instantly. The were a couple minor tweaks before we began to build things, but what you see here is pretty much what hit the screen as soon as we stopped talking and started making.
The approach was simple: a site featuring the written word should be built entirely of live html type and lining rules. The only exception was the logo, which we wanted to include a spot of color in. This project was quite fun as it allowed us to see how far we could go with only html and css to make a design truly unique. As I type this we’re still developing more features for Confiction, so keep an eye on the site for everything that follows in 2010.
