⚡ [01] Venue Vision — Bar-Light Stress Test

YOUR FLYER.
UNDER BAR LIGHTS.

An accessibility tool and a bit of a laugh. How does your finished flyer read under red bar light? Under UV? Under the house lights at last orders?

🍺 Also: here's how it reads after a couple of beers.

✂ [03] Ransom Note Engine

TYPE ANYTHING.
GET CHAOS.

Every character gets a random font, rotation, size, and colour. Click RANDOMIZE to reshuffle without retyping. The hero title above is running this same engine.

⊛ [04] Stencil Press

DRAG TO CUT.
BLACK = KEEP. WHITE = CUT.

Any image becomes a cut-ready stencil. The bridge algorithm keeps isolated islands attached so they don't fall out when you spray. Drag the threshold to find your perfect cut point.
