By Daniel Bassan
Summary
Studio375, a design studio, chose to celebrate its tenth anniversary not with a conventional portfolio refresh but by creating "Ten Years Away" — a scroll-driven interactive comic that began as a printed zine and was later adapted into a WebGL-powered digital experience. The article details the creative journey behind the project, from the initial concept of a printed comic reflecting on the passage of time and creative work, to the technical challenges of translating it into an immersive web-based interactive narrative using scroll-driven animations and WebGL.
