Challenge 513: Black & White Character Builder – Vintage Circus Edition
For this week’s black-and-white design challenge, I created an interactive “Build-a-Character” experience inspired by the whimsical world of vintage circuses. Using only black silhouette parts on a white canvas, learners can drag and drop elements to assemble their own unique character—from elegant Art Nouveau figures to bold strongmen and animal-inspired hybrids.
This project explores how contrast, shape, and visual hierarchy can drive creativity without relying on color. It’s playful, theatrical, and full of personality—just like the circus!
Built in Articulate Storyline 360
Assets: Custom-designed silhouette parts (transparent PNGs)
Interactions: Drag-and-drop, text entry, and navigation buttons
Let me know what you think—and feel free to try building your own character!
