Fractal Typography

Again the individual letters were made in Quadrium Flame. I wonder whether anyone else has attempted to make letterforms this way because it took bloody ages. I started with a 'spuiggle' of a fractal and kept randomising the settings on full until I had a 'parent' image that looked a little bit like a letterform. Next I created less random 'child' images from the 'parent' image and the one that looked most/more like the desired letterform became the new 'parent' image and the process is repeated. Survival of the fittest - Darwin would be proud. This took hours and hours.

If you can't read it, it says 'Random Toxy' - which is the name I use when I make electronic music.

Fractals have moved on

I got a piece of software called Quadrium Flame. Its a fractal generator. I was really surprised how good the images made with it came out. Again, lots of random options but you can choose how far you want to evolve an image with each alteration.

I was pleased with these two. They look almost organic, but give away just enough of their mathmatical form (with repeating elements) to leave the viewer slightly disorientated. Clever computer.
