Your second task: | |||
'''Transform a font of your choice using both ''Geomerative'' and ''Fontastic''.''' | |||
# Import a true type font and get the outline using ''geomerative'' | |||
# Do something with the outline of each letter | |||
# Turn the result into a new font using ''fontastic'' | |||
# Publish the font file and screenshots on your wiki page | |||
''Some things to explore:'' | |||
* Look at the examples to figure out how to use the libraries | |||
* Think of a creative transformations! Here are some things you could do | |||
** geometric transformations (reflecting the letters) | |||
** sampling (creating a pixel font based on the original font) | |||
** messing with the outline | |||
** create an abstract glyph based on properties of the original letter | |||
** explore how far you can mutilate the original glyph, without destroying it | |||
