Temporal Grids
Oct 4, 2025
Designing with rhythm and repetition in mind.
Time is an invisible material in design. Every animation, transition, or delay shapes how a system feels — how it breathes.
Temporal design is about rhythm — how fast information appears, how slow it fades, how repetition builds familiarity. A well-paced system feels intuitive, not because of what it shows, but when it shows it.
The grid no longer lives only in space; it exists in time. Motion defines structure as much as layout does. Good rhythm brings coherence — the sense that every interaction belongs to the same system, the same logic.
Designing with time means designing experience — not just what users see, but what they feel between the frames.
