Creating an interactive SVG: The circle of fifths

In a tutorial exploring the creative use of SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), the author describes the process of transforming static art posters into interactive, dynamic designs using SVG, CSS, and JavaScript. Inspired by the circle of fifths from music theory, the tutorial demonstrates how to recreate these posters by organizing the chromatic pitches into a sequence of perfect fifths, and visually representing them with concentric circles and arcs. The guide offers detailed insights into using mathematical functions to position elements around a circle and apply CSS transformations for aesthetic enhancements, such as rotating elements and adding hover effects. The tutorial also introduces JavaScript methods for converting polar to Cartesian coordinates and creating arc paths, while encouraging readers to engage in creative coding with SVGs. Additionally, it highlights the functionality of LogRocket, a tool for monitoring frontend performance, which can help developers address complex and resource-intensive web applications by providing detailed user session insights.
