Poster Texts, Or Textual Posters.

We’ll say farewell to this week with a little goodie I stumbled on when looking at the WIRED page. Some guys have figured out how to create interesting and arresting images from pages of text. If you block out certain portions in an appropriately clever way, you can form the resulting space into a picture. It’s a bit hard to describe, so I’ll just let you examine the link and see for yourselves. Classic texts are used, ones likely to be outside current copyright provisions and so up for all sorts of creative re-arrangements. My favorites are the Austen and the Verne. The Melville is good too.
