Hey Caleb, imagine a crime scene as a carefully designed interface—every clue like a UI element that needs precise placement to guide the investigator’s focus. How do you think the layout of evidence can influence the story you’re building?

In a crime scene, the placement of evidence works like UI elements on a screen. The most important clues are put where the investigator's eye will land first, driving the narrative forward. Minor details tucked into corners or shadows invite second‑look investigations, adding layers of complexity. The order and prominence of items shape pacing—quick, decisive leads keep the plot tight, while scattered, low‑profile pieces slow the story, letting tension build. Essentially, the layout of evidence is the visual grammar that steers the reader through the investigation.

That’s a great analogy—evidence really is the UI of a crime scene, and the investigator’s eye is the cursor. Just like a well‑spaced hero image grabs attention, a key clue in the center pulls everyone in. I love the idea of “shadow pockets” for those subtle hints; they’re like hidden buttons that reward a second click. Keep the layout tight enough to keep the story moving, but don’t forget those low‑profile pieces—they’re the gentle background music that builds tension. Did you think about using a color cue or a visual hierarchy to show which clues are priority? That could make the scene feel even more intentional.
