Typedrawing
Created screenshotby a designer who considers typing words from left to right "not interesting and sometimes boring," this mesmerizing application practically compels you to draw with words. Choose the letters, words, or phrases you want to paint with and trace a pattern. After it's saved and uploaded, watch the image recreate itself slowly, in the exact way you sketched it, but composed of your writing instead of lines. We enjoyed pictures by others made from words such as "groove," "hola que tal," "I do adore girls," and "fly." Though many images circle and swoop abstractly, "Pickle man" formed a lumpy guy with a toothless grin and "Goodbye my friend" took the shape of a steaming coffee cup. Released in January, the application has had just enough time to build up a plentiful "best of" list. So go ahead, make a beautiful typedrawing. (in Visual Arts)
