Title: "On the Road" Submission

Inspired by the daily commute, "On the Road" is that peaceful time when impressions come and go. Small specks, far on the horizon, fly into view, subtly enhancing the visual experience of those elements that already dominating the view. The core of achieving this visual smoothness, was to forgo the use of pixel based images, using a purely vector based approach to all rendering, automatically enabling a responsive design at all resolution.

The technical focus of this submission is to showcase animation, experimenting with key frames as the most important aspect of the realization. Scrollbars are removed (exception IE9 due to technical constrains), giving the user a static viewport onto dynamic content. In addition, a first approach at parallax handling was achieved using different background elements that animate at different speeds with the hover trigger.
