Twitter Freeze – Simon Cowell

Posted on 14. Dec, 2009 by admin in Illustrator, TwitterFreeze

This image is of the music mogul Simon Cowell and was generated using the public timeline from Twitter with a filter on the word ‘xfactor’ … this was important as it was rendered over the weekend of the XFactor final.

I layered the image up over 5 passes gradually reducing the font size and finally using the entire tweets instead of individual words at the smallest size. You need to view the really hi-res version to be able to read the tweets which is why these would be great as very large posters.

These images are hi-resolution vector images that I create as Illustrator files and will be offering as posters via an Etsy site very soon.

If you want to commission me to generate your own Twitter profile image from your latest tweets or want an image rendered from a public Twitter search then please get in touch to discuss.

Twitter Freeze – @leeprobert

Posted on 14. Dec, 2009 by admin in Illustrator, TwitterFreeze

This image is the Twitter profile image of @leeprobert (me!) generated using my latest tweets (at the time).

Again this was rendered in Illustrator by stamping out a TextFrame object onto the Artboard using the image pixel colour as the text colour and individual words from tweets as the text.

These images are hi-resolution vector images that I create as Illustrator files and will be offering as posters via an Etsy site very soon.

Twitter Freeze – @Glinner

Posted on 14. Dec, 2009 by admin in Illustrator, TwitterFreeze

This image is the Twitter profile image of @Glinner (Graham Linehan) generated using his latest tweets (at the time).

This was the second image I generated. The first one rendered upside down because I was translating the pixel in the image over to the illustrator coordinate system. I had to flip the image for it to render properly.

I started by simply stamping out a TextFrame object onto the Artboard using the image pixel colour as the text colour. Very simple but very effective.

These images are hi-resolution vector images that I create as Illustrator files and will be offering as posters via an Etsy site very soon.

Flash Catalyst and the Designer/Developer workflow
Uploaded with plasq‘s Skitch! Uploaded with plasq‘s Skitch! Uploaded with plasq‘s Skitch! I drew this up recently to illustrate a proposed workflow for a project I’m working on. This is similar to the workflow as proposed by Adobe but with an extra level of responsibility on the Interaction Designer. This being the requirement to adap […]
Archiving and Unarchiving objects in Objective-C
Woohoo … my first Objective-C related post! Ok, so this is nothing new but I thought I’d log a couple of things that caught me out as a NOOB to the whole iPhone development malarky. First off archiving your objects is a way of saving them to a property list file that sits on your [...] […]
Another custom Flex preloader but with RSL support
This post has a great article on building a custom Flex preloader which also allows you to handle the progress of the runtime shared libraries that the Flex framework now loads into the users cache. The DownloadProgressBar component allows you to view the progress of the runtime shared libraries but be aware that it can [...] […]
Custom Preloader class for Flex apps
I’ve blogged on this before but here’s an updated version of a custom preloader class that extends Sprite and loads in a MovieClip from a SWC to use as the animation and display the load progress. Custom preloader for Flexpackage com.cravens.nr.preloader { import com.cravens.nr.model.Config; […]
Detecting when text has run into the end of a container in a TextFlow object
More fun and games with the Text Layout Framework. So, I have a load of links being flowed one by one through a bunch of linked containers. I need to detect when a link reaches the end and has ‘overflowed’ so to speak. To do this you need to make sure your ContainerController objects have [...] […]
Adobe vs Apple? Sod the developers … what does the user want?
There’s been all kinds of heated debate and colorful invective surrounding the latest events in the Adobe vs Apple altercation. It’s hard for me to take sides because as a Flash developer for over ten years now and as a loyal Mac user for nearly 20 I’m finding that I do sympathise with both sides. [...] […]
Crazy code
Sometimes you have to write a method for something crazy complicated. In this snippet I had a container with a load of TextFlow text in it and I needed to zoom into a specific link within the flow while also scaling the container and positioning it within a Scroller viewport without the container going out [...] […]
Snippety Snipplr snip!
So I’ve been using Snipplr recently for storing little code snippets. Looks like a pretty good service but after I tested its embedding features recently in a couple of posts I got sad and started to cry. This is because it didn’t embed very well. Not very well at all. You couldn’t scroll the code [...] […]
How to install the AIR 2 Beta SDK into FlashBuilder 4 and build a cool multi-touch app for your MacBook
Phew … that was a long blog post title! I have to be very specific about this little demo though because if you aren’t on a MacBook with a multi-touch trackpad this demo will not do anything and then you’ll be severely pissed! I’ve not done any tests with Windows so I’m not sure about [...] […]
Multiple links in a TextFlow object in Flex 4
Flex 4 includes the new Adobe Text Layout Framework (TLF) which is a fantastic new addition that allows greater control of text rendering and the flow of text through containers. You can view the demo material here. I recently had to use the TLF to generate a whole bunch of links in a stream that [...] […]
