TITLE: PULP — amazing frontiers
PROMPT: Create 'PULP — amazing frontiers', a vintage sci-fi magazine cover gallery: five to six covers, each composed live — halftone-dot skies in saturated inks, bold slanted coverlines (AMAZING FRONTIER STORIES — 35¢), a central raygun-and-rocket scene as bold flat vector illustration, worn edges, spine creases, and a price sticker. A spinner rack presents them fanned. Palette: process cyan, warm red, sulfur yellow, black on aged stock. Interactions: drag the rack to spin covers (with clack stops); each cover opens readable as a large plate with coverline editor's notes; a COVER GENERATOR mixes title, tagline, palette, and scene (rocket, tentacle planet, android) to mint a new cover with a print texture pass; halftone and registration sliders adjust authenticity; EXPORT downloads your cover. Loud, inky, joyous mid-century.
DESCRIPTION: A dim collectibles room with a 3D spinner rack of five pulp covers, each rendered entirely on canvas at load: aged stock, misregistered process-color sky bands, bold flat illustrations (rocket over planet, tentacle moon with a single eye, brass android with rays), halftone dot screens, slanted mastheads and coverlines, spine shading, worn edges, and a 10¢ price sticker. Drag or button-spin the rack (with clack sounds and perspective scaling); click a cover for a large plate with its issue number and a wry editor's note. Below, the Cover Generator bench: type a title, pick a scene, dial halftone density and misregistration, and MINT a fresh issue with randomized palette; EXPORT downloads your cover as PNG.
TECHNIQUES: procedural canvas cover composition (gradient skies with offset misregistration passes, flat vector scene library, dot-screen halftone overlay, rotated masthead blocks, spine gradient, price-sticker ellipse), CSS 3D carousel rack with translateZ/rotateY placement and depth-based scale/opacity, drag-to-spin with pointer capture, WebAudio rack clacks, live generator with parameter sliders and PNG export.
INTERACTION: Drag the rack sideways (or use the spin buttons) to rotate the carousel; click any cover to read its editor's note on a large plate; in the generator, edit title/scene and drag the halftone and misregistration sliders to mint live; MINT randomizes the palette; EXPORT downloads the composed cover.
