On 9:16, Mobile, & Zora

And Digital Art

Following up on:

Vertical lines appear thinner than horizontal lines of the same weight. This makes 9:16 feel tall. Weird tall.

In person, on 55"+ displays, it's impressive.

It also works well for mobile; we know this because of short-form social media. It displays relatively large.

The digital flexibility is worth pushing past reels and vidz.

Jpg+gif 9:16 is a massive creative opportunity. I think it's a pathway for digital art to scale.

I've been experimenting with it more on zora, and want to see how long I can go before going insane or bored.

(Same-Day Update) Zora web uses the same cascading grid as Zora mobile. 9:16 is king.
