Made with this workshop
A print.
A little motion.
These files came from the working editor. The PNG has an edited headline; the MP4 uses the sample composition. You can download either example or make your own above.

The machinery behind the ink
One composition.
Every frame.
Kitforge started as a practical way to make event announcements. Its drawing function takes a document and a time, then paints a frame. The live preview and your downloaded print use that same function.
This workshop adapts the real Kitforge renderer, text fitting and looping shader backgrounds. It adds local portfolio typefaces, three arrangements and space between a wrapped headline and the lines below it. Photos, uploads and accounts stay outside this small exercise.

Adapted from David’s Kitforge revision 809d559. Amber, Teal and Forest are three original Kitforge presets powered by Paper Shaders 0.0.80. Preview and exports use the same four-second baked frame sequence, with a dissolve that closes the loop.
PNG and JPG use your browser’s canvas encoder. MP4 uses Kitforge’s Chromium-gated native WebCodecs H.264 path and mp4-muxer 5.2.2. If a compatible encoder is unavailable, you can download a still. A device without WebGL2 receives a gradient still.
