Meridiano.
Seven landscapes, one journey. A travel archive that turns photographs and videos into a moving constellation.
A living archive.
In every movement.
Photographs and videos meet in a continuous orbit. The landscape changes; the journey continues.
WEBSITE CAPTURES · DESKTOP & MOBILEThe problem and the people.
How can a travel archive become more than a sequence of thumbnails? Meridiano explores relationships between landscapes, imagery, and rhythm, inviting visitors to move through a visual archive.
Decisions that made a difference.
The constellation needed to keep its frames readable as they orbit and accommodate seven looping videos. The layout also needed to work on mobile. During development, modal opening was removed to simplify exploration, while the Spotify player stayed compact at the bottom.
How the pieces connect.
An orbital composition brings photographs and videos together in consistently proportioned frames. Motion shifts the elements while keeping the images upright. A black background reduces visual distractions, and music lives in a player separate from navigation. This page’s screenshots show the public version of the project.
Results, with context.
- 14 media frames and 7 looping videos confirmed on the public version.
- Interface deployed on Vercel and presented on desktop and mobile.
- Project history records 36 passing tests during release preparation; audience metrics have not been provided.
What I learned
Motion works best when it preserves readability and keeps navigation simple. External integrations also impose limits: full Spotify playback depends on each visitor’s session and service availability.
