I found out the getBounds()-function gives not exactly the right rectangle with a TextField. It always matches the border bounds, even if the borders are invisible. So i’ve created a more accurate function using getColorBoundsRect().

Tiger represents power. I love to express strong animals with powerful lines. This one is created with actionscript (flash). I edited the composition with photoshop to add the text and changed contrast. The lines and letters are created generatively, using mouse gestures and random movements. I have worked hard to create this image, it is full with details, full of lines. Hope you like it.

I like iGoogle. It’s very handy, because I can read my RSS-feeds everywhere I am. A while ago, I tried to personalize the header of iGoogle. I found the option to create your own skin, simply by uploading an image. I didn’t know the theme would be public, because I didn’t read the conditions. So, if anyone is interested.. Here is the iGoogle-theme:

Found out something useful, which I’d like to share with you. It’s about calculating the width of menu-items perfectly.

Imaging you are creating a liquid website with a menu. If you want all items to have the same width, you could set the width of each item to totalMenuWidth / items.length. In most cases this will work out. But what is your menu is very small or the items doesn’t fit in that fixed width because the text is too long?

Quick post: Smashing Magazine posted an article about Algorithmic and Code Generated Artworks. Some of my artworks are on that list.
