 I tried hard to ensure that my site is fully accessible. I'm still learning how to properly test this - automated tools can only go so far - so if I missed something obvious [please tell me]({{ meta.social.mastodon }})!
 
+## Design
+
+I drew big inspiration from a recent favourite game of mine: [Super Mario Wonder](https://supermariobroswonder.nintendo.com/ca/)! I think the design in that game is top notch - from the character design to the [game UI](https://www.gameuidatabase.com/gameData.php?id=1838)!
+
+I borrowed heavily from the triangle pattern on this screen, as well as the slightly angled text which I used for my headers:
+
+{% image "https://cdn.wonderfulfrog.com/Super-Mario-Bros-Wonder10212023-084101-75299.jpg", "A screenshot of the game Super Mario Bros. Wonder. In this screenshot a level transition screen is visible, displaying a heading saying 'Badge Challenge' and 'Wall-Climb Jump II'. Both headings have a slanted or tilted effect that makes the text look like it is angled upwards. Near the bottom of the screen is a transition from a purple background to a white background, with a zig-zag pattern between the two colours, which looks like a perforated edge.", "Screenshot of game UI from Super Mario Bros. Wonder." %}
+
+And for the buttons I pretty much copied it straight from the game!
+
+{% image "https://cdn.wonderfulfrog.com/Super-Mario-Bros-Wonder10212023-084101-96390.jpg", "A screenshot of Super Mario Bros. Wonder showing the style of buttons used in the game. The buttons have a 3D bevel effect, with the button colour changing to yellow when active or highlighted. The buttons have a white outline surrounding them.", "Screenshot of game UI from Super Mario Bros. Wonder." %}
+
+I'm very pleased with how that came out. For reference, here is the CSS I used to achieve the effect:
+
+```css
+  background-color: var(--color-white);
+  color: var(--color-shadow);
+
+  /* This gives the button its 3d effect */
+  box-shadow:
+    1px 1px 0px var(--color-shadow),
+    2px 2px 0 var(--color-shadow);
+
+  border-radius: var(--spacing-0\.25);
+  border: 1px solid var(--color-shadow);
+
+  transition:
+    box-shadow var(--transition-duration),
+    transform var(--transition-duration),
+    background-color var(--transition-duration),
+    color var(--transition-duration);
+
+  /*
+   * I applied this to a wrapping element, and gives it the
+   * white outline.
+   */
+  filter: drop-shadow(1px 0 0 var(--color-white))
+    drop-shadow(-1px 0 0 var(--color-white))
+    drop-shadow(0 -1px 0 var(--color-white))
+    drop-shadow(0 1px 0 var(--color-white));
+```
+
+The colour scheme was tricky to figure out. I knew that I wanted a teal colour as my primary one, but where to go from there stumped me. I was originally going to use Tailwind's colours to make it easier for me, but I wanted to challenge myself to come up with one on my own. So I stewed on it for a week...
+
+I stumbled upon [Themescura](https://www.xypnox.com/blag/posts/themescura/introducing-themescura/) and found the philosophy resonated with me. The basis for a colour scheme has 5 elements:
+
+- Primary - Also known as the "brand colour"
+- Secondary - A... second colour.
+- Background - The colour of the site's background
+- Surface - A colour that is sort of a mix between Primary and Background
+- Text - The colour of the site's overall text
+
+I also extrapolated a few extra colours that are based on these five:
+
+- Border - The colour of borders! Like a darkened version of the Primary colour. Works well when paired with Surface.
+- Shadow - A very dark version of the Primary colour.
+- Fade Text - A mix of the Text colour and Background colour.
+
+The [source code for Themescura](https://github.com/xypnox/xypnox.github.io/blob/v2/src/theme.ts) provides a "developer way" to create the colours from the base five. I used this way as a starting point, then tweaked the values using HSL until I was happy.
+
+The final colour scheme looks like this (and will change depending on light or dark mode):
+
+<div class="[ flex flex-1 flex-col items-center gap-0.5 ]">
+    <div class="[ flex gap-0.5 ]">
+        <p>Primary</p>
+        <div class="[ size-2 ]" style="background-color: var(--color-primary)"></div>
+    </div>
+    <div class="[ flex gap-0.5 ]">
+        <p>Secondary</p>
+        <div class="[ size-2 ]" style="background-color: var(--color-secondary)"></div>
+    </div>
+    <div class="[ flex gap-0.5 ]">
+        <p>Background</p>
+        <div class="[ size-2 ]" style="background-color: var(--color-background); border: 1px solid var(--color-text)"></div>
+    </div>
+    <div class="[ flex gap-0.5 ]">
+        <p>Surface</p>
+        <div class="[ size-2 ]" style="background-color: var(--color-surface)"></div>
+    </div>
+    <div class="[ flex gap-0.5 ]">
+        <p>Text</p>
+        <div class="[ size-2 ]" style="background-color: var(--color-text)"></div>
+    </div>
+    <div class="[ flex gap-0.5 ]">
+        <p>Border</p>
+        <div class="[ size-2 ]" style="background-color: var(--color-border)"></div>
+    </div>
+    <div class="[ flex gap-0.5 ]">
+        <p>Shadow</p>
+        <div class="[ size-2 ]" style="background-color: var(--color-shadow)"></div>
+    </div>
+    <div class="[ flex gap-0.5 ]">
+        <p>Fade Text</p>
+        <div class="[ size-2 ]" style="background-color: var(--color-fadeText)"></div>
+    </div>
