- Control font weight in HTML5 Canvas
Hangul, also known as the Korean alphabet, is a unique writing system that is grouped into blocks that represent individual syllables, rather than being written sequentially as in the English language. This allows for the representation of most sounds.
The Mimetic Words of Hangul is an art project that aims to visually depict onomatopoeic and mimetic words based on their meanings. The project was developed using HTML5, specifically the Canvas element, and is designed to be fully responsive across desktop and tablet devices. The implementation of the Canvas element in combination with the unique subject matter of the project, allows for a truly immersive and engaging experience for the users.
Form Follows Function is a collection of interactive experiences, each with its own unique design and functionality. The collection is created using HTML5, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance on both desktop and tablet devices. This project demonstrates the capabilities of current technology and pushes the boundaries of what is possible within a browser-based experience.
One particularly noteworthy aspect of this project is the “Wiper Typography” section, which was inspired by an interesting episode during its development. The design and interaction had already been conceptualized, but the challenge of creating the necessary Javascript code initially stumped me. However, after two days of contemplation, I woke up with the solution and was able to implement it within 30 minutes. This section holds a special place in the project, as it exemplifies the power of perseverance and inspiration.
This project is not just a collection of HTML5 experiences, but also a reflection of my personal interests and inspirations. As an admirer of artists like Vincent van Gogh, Rene Magritte, and Andy Warhol, as well as concepts such as the Golden Ratio, minimal design, and typography, these influences are evident throughout the project. For example, the “Plant Trees” experience was inspired by Rene Magritte’s “Empire of Light”, depicting the paradoxical combination of day and night. The trees in this experience are dark during the day, but bright and colorful at night.
