LERP : Understanding Linear Interpolation.

The power of light

Once upon a digital dawn, in the vibrant realm of Creativia, your journey as a designer unfolded with pixels as your palette and code as your compass. In the early chapters of your tale, you found yourself entranced by the dance of colors and shapes on the canvas of the internet.

It all began in the bustling city of Imagiotech, where ideas and innovation flowed through the neon-lit streets. As a wide-eyed apprentice, you stumbled upon the enigmatic Guild of Designers, a secretive order where the magic of user interface and web design was mastered.

Under the mentorship of seasoned sages of aesthetics and functionality, you delved into the ancient scrolls of CSS and HTML, unlocking the secrets of the digital language. Your days were spent sketching wireframes in the hallowed halls of the Guild, each stroke of your stylus a step closer to unveiling the mysteries of seamless user experiences.

The Web Weaver, a mystical figure with a beard made of binary code, recognized your potential and entrusted you with the Scroll of Harmony—a sacred manuscript containing the principles of balance between beauty and usability. Armed with this wisdom, your designs began to breathe life into the virtual tapestry of the internet.
