![screenshot Orange Is The New Black](orange-is-the-new-black/img/screenshot.png)
View the [codepen](https://codepen.io/robjoeol/full/VwKLPRR).
#### Implementation notes
The animation is a CSS animation, but uses JavaScript to toggle a class to trigger the animation.
- The original typeface is _Damaged Guts_. I chose a free alternative called _CF Punk Fashion_ as a basis for making my own text. I converted the text to SVG paths and added more "damage" to get closer to the look of the original!
- I chose to do the animation in CSS, but have it triggered by JavaScript. I did begin by using GSAP and noticed that the equivalent of `translateX(50%)` didn't work as expected. It works as expected in CSS. I don't know why!### North by Northwest
[North by Northwest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_by_Northwest) is a 1959 American spy thriller film produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock,

![A screenshot of the arrested development title card.](/arrested-development/img/reference.png)

The font used in the title is probably FF Blur (commercial license). I used a free font called [Distro Bold](https://www.ffonts.net/Distro-Bold.font).
Pencil/marker stroke effect uses a turbulence SVG filter e.g. [CSS Tricks pencil effect article](https://css-tricks.com/creating-a-pencil-effect-in-svg/).
