The Indian Summer Mission Guac Off!
Three years ago I was invited to join two friends to help organize a guacamole party in the mission. The mission of the party was to bring together friends and neighbors to have fun and eat guacamole. Oh, and there was going to be a competition where everyone votes on who made the the best guacamole.
Each year I design and code the site myself. It's a fun challenge for me since I don't generally do much frontend development. So I always look forward to a bit of frustration and excitement when things eventually come together.

This year's party is less than a month away! See the live site at guacamole.expert
I designed gold enamel pins to produced for the first 100 people to donate at the door. They should be arriving soon!

This was the first year we introduced the giant Avocado Cursor.
Voting with Google Forms
When it came time to vote we had everone go to a specific URL where they could vote for their favorite Guac. We thought using Google Forms would help speed up the tallying—which is did. But it introcuded a ton of voter fraud and the transparency of voting was actually really discouraging.

Check out the video below of the exploded parallax ingredients controlled by the mouse or mobile gyroscope.
I couldn't find every ingredient in the style I wanted, so took matters into my own hands and I drew them myself.
