React Halftone Background

Animated print-magazine halftone background for React and Next.js — a crisp grid of cyan dots whose radii pulse with a drifting brightness field, giving an editorial CMYK feel.

A clean, editorial halftone grid where every dot's size is modulated by an underlying brightness field that slowly drifts across the canvas. The field is a sum of two sine waves and a radial pulse traveling outward from a wandering center, so the dots "image" a moving gradient the way a newsprint photo would. Rendered directly to a single canvas with no offscreen buffer — the dot grid itself is the resolution — so it stays crisp at any viewport size and runs at 60fps on a mid-range laptop. Ideal for design-studio portfolios, magazine-style landing pages, print-inspired hero sections, and any product surface that wants a premium editorial feel without leaning into gradients or particles.
