Signal playground: a rounded circuit supergraphic on near-black
Signal playground is the default look of Retro Rhythm Lab and a good place to learn the tool. The Circuit pattern drops rounded L-shaped paths and elbows onto a grid with a Grid density of 15, and a Pattern rhythm of 58 fills a little over half the cells, so the paths cross, stack and leave pockets of dark ground between them. Tangerine, teal and butter yellow, plus an apricot and a coral pink mixed from the orange, sit on a warm near-black Background like a 1970s transit map redrawn as a poster.
Make it yours
Fill or empty the grid
Pattern rhythm decides how many grid cells receive a path. At 58 a little over half are filled; raise it toward 100 for a tangled maze, or lower it to 0 to thin the paths out and open dark space for a headline.
Square off the elbows
Corner softness at 90 gives every bend a wide, rounded turn. Bring it down to 0 and the elbows become crisp right angles while the path ends stay round, which reads more like a printed circuit board than a playground.
FAQ
What is a supergraphic?
A supergraphic is an oversized graphic of stripes, arcs or geometric paths painted across walls, signs and interiors, a style that took off in the late 1960s and 1970s. Signal playground brings that feel to screen scale with fat, rounded bands in flat colors, and it works just as well as a poster or a brand background.
How it works
Choose a graphic system
Start from one of 16 looks such as Golden hour, Poolside or Disco grid, or pick one of 9 patterns.
Set the rhythm
Tune grid density, band weight, module spacing, pattern rhythm, corner softness and ink strength, then drag the artwork to reposition it.
Color and use it
Set the background and three ink colors, press Play for a gentle movement, then sign in with a free UX Pilot account to use it on the canvas or export it.
