  1. obscure vs. reveal: how might we play with context? #progressivedisclosure.. could let visitors gradually uncover layers, hints, or details instead of overwhelming them all at once.
  2. text vs. image emphasis: pacing attention.. should moments lean heavily on visuals, others on text, or do we want to try a dynamic blend?
  3. (see above) exploring if a more text-forward format would help frame the experience.. what is the balance we want to strike?
  4. “pile”: if we went very literal with a digital “pile” of content, how might items be stacked, layered, or scattered? could visitors filter items by type, theme, or other criteria?
  5. combining image + text: what are some other ways to let both coexist? sticky notes? overlays? mini pop-ups? and when filtering occurs, would we hide or persist parts of the content? what categories would we establish for that content?
  6. collaborative & persistent play: how can we make the experience feel more social or #collaborativelycurated? e.g. a (fridgelike) persistent, synced state where previous visitors’ contributions shape the layout or vibe?
  7. a big centralized archive: testing out how horizontal scroll might feel and doing away with filters.. how much more context about the content might we reveal at a glance and upon further interaction?
  8. spontaneous discovery: playing with how information is linked.. how might exploration be oriented and what does that look like with different types of content?
  9. deeper context: how can we better provide/reveal information and how does that look like with different formats? what are some ways we can continue to visualize the relationship between text and image? what does density look like for each?
