    This is an absolutely beautiful personal website. Go click around it, there's so many 'wow' moments. Go to the homepage (https://maximeheckel.com/) and then click 'about', the transition is :chefskiss:

    The blog's design style reminds me a lot of Alex Harri's[1], who also does excellent work. I wonder if one influenced the other.

    Edit: Oh the homepage has its inspirations actually listed. Harri isn't there.

    Still going through the article but loving all the detail and interactive components! Nice writeup.

    PS: worth mentioning the RGB to CMYK function credited to me is not my original work, I believe I got it off stack overflow or similar many years ago. A more robust way of doing this transformation would be with a color management system and profile, as it happens I’ve done a bit of work on that! [1] Used this here [2].

    Transforming with ICC profile will give you a result that might be closer to how a screen printer would turn your digital image into a four colour print, but more advanced screen printing workflows these days tend to use “rip” software that handles many layers (eg: 12 colors instead of 4) and stochastic screening [3] which produces quite different results than what most halftone shaders are doing.
