Fractal Letters, iteration 1

And here is the fifth iteration:

Fractal Letters, iteration 5

Some letters have variations in how they are drawn or how they repeat, or both (hence the 2 lines). The bottom N uses an algorithm I worked out which didn’t change the aspect ratio and had only one repetition per line. Both of the N variants in the words use two repetitions per line and constrict the width faster than the height, which leaves the N recognizable. The idea here, after all, was to make letters which had a cool fractal look but could still be read.

Click either of the pictures to view the flex app and play with the iterations yourself. Just drag (or click on) the slider on the bottom of the app to change the iteration.

Stay tuned, I have another blog post coming up soon specifically about that N on the bottom, the math required to create the algorithm, and some interesting (and beautiful) results I got when implementing a test program.
