Lab Notes

Process snapshots, dev diaries, and glitches from Cara Colker-Eybel’s ongoing web experiments.

A sleek, midnight-blue laptop with a glossy screen displaying a playful, abstract web interface composed of floating geometric shapes, bold gradients, and animated-looking buttons frozen mid-motion. The laptop rests on a clean, white desk sprinkled with colorful acrylic rectangles and translucent shapes that resemble UI components. Soft daylight from an unseen window washes in from the left, creating gentle reflections on the laptop’s metallic edges and subtle shadows of the scattered elements. Photographic realism with a vibrant, modern aesthetic. Shot from a slightly elevated three-quarter angle with shallow depth of field, the background fades into a soft blur of neutral tones, giving the scene an energetic yet focused atmosphere, perfect for representing inventive web experiments.

Labnotes

Labnotes are my running log of web experiments—updated whenever something breaks or works. Start with the latest prototype recap, the CSS glitch diary, or the accessibility debugging walkthrough.

A wall-sized, glossy glass board covered in neatly arranged printed web interface mockups, each featuring experimental layouts, bright color palettes, and quirky iconography. The mockups are attached with small, colored magnetic markers and overlapping strips of washi tape. On the adjacent minimalist white shelf sit stacks of sketchbooks, a closed silver tablet, and a few transparent acrylic cubes. Overhead track lighting casts crisp, cool-toned illumination, creating reflections and subtle glares on the glass and a rhythmic pattern of shadows below the shelf. Photographic realism with a clean, gallery-like atmosphere. Captured at eye level with a wide lens, the composition emphasizes the expanse of playful design ideas, evoking a curated, exploratory portfolio wall of web experiments.
