Told in paper
An eight-language personality and assessment platform — sixteen types, nineteen tests, four courses and a printable report — illustrated entirely in cut paper.
Personality tests usually look clinical. This one was given the warmth of a picture book: every illustration is cut paper, every page is a change of paper, and the people the tests talk about are paper caricatures.

Making
Step 01: One idea: separation is a change of paper
Step 02: Cut paper for every illustration
Step 03: People drawn as caricatures
Step 04: An eight-second Veo 3.1 loop
Separation is a change of paper
The one design idea: the page is warm paper, the reading sheet is white, and a section that needs to stand apart takes a colour panel or the dark band — nothing is separated by a stroke. Every panel carries the same four parts: a rail of small capitals, a headline with one italic phrase, a paper-cut spot in the middle, a line of capitals at the foot.
A hero that breathes
The homepage opens on an eight-second loop made with Veo 3.1 from a start image. One lesson from making it: asking for hanging lamps to sway made the model split one lantern into three — so nothing moves that does not have to.
Told through people
The tests are told through figures — writers, scientists, characters from books — drawn as cut-paper caricatures, the one place in the product where a face is drawn.
Sixteen types
Sixteen types in four families, each with its own paper-cut piece, so a result reads as a picture before it reads as a score.
How it was made
245 paper-cut illustrations and 192 caricatures on GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, transparent so they sit on any paper; the loop on Veo 3.1; 2,345 pages in eight languages, and a printable report whose chapters open on full-page panels.
