# Aurora

Resource base: https://mejohnc.org (or the preview host used to obtain this file).

A lighting treatment built from broad, luminous color fields. It supplies atmosphere behind an interface rather than a navigation model.

## Visual family
Contemporary interfaces. Editorial family: shared visual vocabulary, not a claim of common origin.

## Visual cues
- Diffuse gradients
- Dark grounding surface
- Sparse luminous accents

## Build it
1. Keep the gradient behind the header.
2. Put body text on an opaque panel.
3. Use one accent for the primary action.

## Example
A music discovery page with an aurora header and solid album rows.

## Typography
Use a medium-weight sans-serif. Keep luminous effects off the letterforms.

## Practical consequences
- Starting projects: Portfolio, Publication. These are suggestions, not restrictions.
- Reading/layout: spacious; bold visual emphasis.
- Asset work: Atmosphere comes from a gradient; custom images are optional.
- Complexity: medium. Allow time for a coherent decorative or image layer and responsive checks.

## Limits
Animating the entire background or placing small text over changing colors.

## Reading the collected reference board
Look at the large blue light fields and soft-edged color transitions. These poster treatments suggest atmosphere; they do not demonstrate a complete interface.

## Context
Contemporary screen interpretation. The recipe is a modern web adaptation.
No single inventor or exact founding date is asserted for this interpretation.
