I totally forgot that unicode characters are a thing #creativecoding #webdesign #graphicdesign

Testing some other color themes #creativecoding #graphicdesign #webdesign

Alright, it's ready! Check it out and make some nice SVGs. meerpohl.dev/wordy #creativecoding #graphicdesign #wegdesign

Font wobble all day long. I‘ve got a feeling I‘m gonna make some sick posters with thise one. Also, first post made with @flashes.blue app! #creativecoding #graphicdesign #webdesign

⚡ Next one in the making! ⚡ I just realized that styling text can actually be more fun in #SVG than #CSS. You can just outline text in SVG! #creativecoding #graphicdesign #webdesign

It finally arrived as a print and I love it! A1 FineArt Giclée print on Canon Premium Photo #graphicdesign #webdesign #graphic

Finally switched the homepage to SSR with #astro. Now I can dynamically generate my opengraph images! Testing: meerpohl.dev/swirly

Love to see it. I don‘t like video feeds because of their addictiveness. But add least bsky does not shove the feature into my throat like youtube or instagram.

This one's just to show that all my tools are just simple shapes and no 3D. Turns out all you need is just a lot of slight changes. The first one looks like a psycedelic blood cell. The second one makes it clearer that it's just slightly offset ellipsis. #graphicdesign #webdesign #digitalart

New svg playground dropped on my website. I like this one a lot because it's just a little variation on another playground but the results are so different. This was basically finished in an hour! Try it at: meerpohl.dev/swirly #graphicdesign #graphics #webdesign

That one's going to the printing press today. 🥵 #graphicdesign #graphics #webdesign

The bright colors from a nice giclée print don‘t get old quick. Though I‘m a bit pissed about the cut. There‘s fine white line on the right edge. All in all happy with it! FineArt giclée print - 150dpi on A1 180g/m² Canon Poster Premium #graphicdesign #webdesign #graphic

This one got a little out of hand. 🫥 Added opacity sliders for fill and stroke. It's a bit surprising to me I didn't add them to begin with. But to be honest I feel like that's the last addition. I have 21 parameters in this playground. It's like adding more limits creativity.

New fine art giclée print on A1 180g/m2 paper arrived. You can‘t see on this photo but the colors are super vibrant!

Quite happy with that one 🐍 🍭 🍬

Damn, Gemini 2.0 Flash is fast. And the answers are very well structured and it even gave me a nice comparison table at the end (that I can export to sheets for some reason). First impressions are great!

These metaballs finally produce some promising results. I'm now using colorjs (see colorjs.io) which allow me to using some of the more advanced color spaces. Next up is a color space selector to find the right gradient. Colorjs supports like a couple of dozens. 🤤 #graphicdesign #webdesign

I just found out by accident that if I give my metaballs a negative radius they create negative space. Which gives them this lovely squeezing capability. I'm super excited right now because of all the possibilities! 🥵 #webdesign #graphicdesign

SVG controls are now persisted to the URLs search parameters which brings us goodies like: meerpohl.dev/squaddle?str... I should probably generate proper opengraph previews next.

Two twisted variations with a colour scheme instructed by my 4-year old. Loved it! #webdesign #graphicdesign

Here‘s two other views from my SVG playground. If you choose the colours right you can create smooth wave landscapes. You can also download the SVGs for further processing! meerpohl.dev/squaddle #webdesign #graphicdesign
