PLDR Law · internal mock · not linked

The map, reinvented.

Four fundamentally different interactive concepts — no region polygons, no dashboard tooltips. Both are working prototypes wired to the real courthouse and drive-time data. Move your cursor around; that's the point.

Concept 01The Constellation

Virginia as a field of light on a night plate. Both offices burn coral; every place PLDR serves is a star. Hover near any named place and a light-line draws home to the office that serves it, with the courthouse and drive time. Ambient, cinematic, and it makes "we cover the whole Commonwealth" feel literal — the entire state glows.

The Commonwealth · Two offices · One firm
Move across the state
Concept 02The Index of Places

An elegant gazetteer: the places on the left, a quiet single-silhouette state on the right, one coral marker that glides to whatever you're reading. No regions, no clutter — the interaction lives in the list, the map is a calm stage. Reads like the index of a beautifully printed atlas, and it scales to any number of counties later.

Concept 03The Ridgeline

Virginia drawn as terrain — dozens of fine ink contour lines rise into the Blue Ridge and settle toward the Tidewater, all clipped to the true state shape. Move your cursor and the land swells beneath it; the two offices burn as coral peaks. Editorial, tactile, unmistakably Virginia — no other law firm will have anything like it.

Concept 04The Circuit

The firm as a living network: light pulses leave Lynchburg and Danville and travel along curved routes to every courthouse and city PLDR serves, arriving as a soft ping — continuously, hypnotically. The message is motion itself: "we go to you, all over the Commonwealth." Hover any node for its details.
