My soft-proofing saga continues: Sadly colorjs.io doesn't support #CMYK yet. After some research I found #jscolorengine which I can use to load the ISO coated v2 #ICC profile. I can now convert my colors from P3 to CMYK and back. That gives me a good estimate of what the image looks in print. 🫠

So my trusted printshop told me I should try exporting my prints as PDF-X4. I was sad to see #inkscape does not support this. But I found #scribus which seems to be the holy grail. The UI looks a bit rough. Just as any good #OSS does. But the color management options are just wow.

I've been adding a font-selector to the wordy-playground. I thought I'd have to scrap the idea because the outlines were drawn weird. After some research I found the magic #CSS: paint-order: stroke fill; It cuts my stroke-width in half but that's fine. Check it out at: meerpohl.dev/wordy

🌟 I might have went a little overboard with the filters. But I was trying them out in inkscape so that I can include them in my tools. SVG in general are weird but maybe I get something out of it. Also, repeating gradients are great! #creativecoding #codeart #graphicdesign #webdesign

#Astro's new experimental font API might finally prompt me to add a font selector to my Wordy playground. Unfortunately, I can't experiment with it just yet due to a bug, but I've already submitted a ticket. Once it's resolved, I'll dive right in!

🤸‍♂️ Improved performance a little bit! For those who don't know, this is an SVG in the browser. Depending on your machine, perf will still be bad. Reduce the number of shapes to get drastically better performance. Check it out at: 🔗 meerpohl.dev/squaddle?str... #creativecoding #codeart #webdesign

As a developer I'm super hyped for scroll driven animations. As a user I'm super annoyed because they get massively overused. A good example is this: pro.viture.com This is driving mit crazy! Eversthing resizes and moves constantly. Scroll direction is changing. 😵‍💫 #css #webdesign

👨‍🎨 Finally back at producing some prints! The colors on this one are extra saturated. I'm trying a new local fineart printing shop. Lets hope the color will come through. You can try the SVG generator as usual on my website! 🔗 meerpohl.dev/wordy #graphicdesign #webdesign #generativecoding

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

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.

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
