Summary

An interactive web archive of New Yorker covers from 1925 to 2026, rendered in a 3D stacked perspective that mimics flipping through a basket of physical magazines.

Visual description

The interface displays a collection of New Yorker magazine covers arranged in a 3D stacked perspective that mimics flipping through a physical deck, with each cover rendered with depth and shadow to suggest thickness. On the left sits a minimal navigation panel with three perspective view options, the middle one highlighted in black. A monospace header introduces the archive, describing it as the definitive visualization of a century of art from 1925 to 2026. The visual emphasis falls entirely on the stacked covers, which display the richness of the magazine's design across decades.

Key takeaway

Use a 3D stacked perspective to make sequential archival browsing feel tactile and manipulable, transforming a chronological collection into an interactive object that invites discovery and play.
