Blockzine

Blockzine is a neo-brutalist blog and magazine template: thick borders, hard offset shadows, loud flat colour blocks, chunky grotesk type and playful physics.

The hero's headline is built as solid shelves, and real post cards drop from behind the masthead, land on the words and tumble into a pile. Readers can grab and throw them, shake the pile, or tap a category so matching posts hop. Further down, "Sort the pile" flies the week's posts onto colour-coded category shelves, then a real search gilds the matches.

What's inside

• A 13-section Home: draggable category ticker, cover story, latest posts, the sorter, flip-card writers, hot-take polls, back-issue binders, stats, an envelope newsletter, reader-mail sticky notes, most-read and search, and a throwable footer

• 12 pages: Posts, Post, Categories and Category, Writers and Writer, Newsletter, Search, About, Contact and 404

• 4 CMS collections: 18 fully written posts, 6 categories, 9 writers and 6 issues; search indexes the CMS

• A slab-wipe page transition, and tablet and phone layouts
