Cuphead CV

Archived

A creative portfolio inspired by the Cuphead videogame and 1930s animation, built entirely with HTML and CSS. No frameworks, no libraries and not a single line of JavaScript — a deliberate exercise in pushing CSS into animation territory and applying a very committed art direction to something as unplayful as a résumé.

The challenge

Almost any interface with this much motion ends up reaching for JavaScript or an animation library. The self-imposed constraint was to use neither and see how far CSS could carry it alone.

Implementation

  • Animation in CSS only

    All the motion — transitions, states and hover effects — is done with native CSS animations and transforms, with no JavaScript and no third-party libraries.

  • 1930s art direction

    Palette, type, textures and visual rhythm follow the game's cartoon language, applied to something as unplayful as a résumé.

  • No dependencies

    Two files and a static deploy: no build, no bundler, no node_modules. It serves exactly what was written.
