What’s a textorized New Year? I’m not exactly sure, but I do know that textorizing is an SVG-based technique for converting an image into strings of text that define edges and outlines.

Max Froumentin developed the technique a while ago. I learned about it from Paul Downey, who runs the Textorized Group on Flicker. I’ve just begun to learn how to best use the technique and love the idea of text creaing images. Lots of possibilities!

So, I hope you’ll enjoy my exploration of textorizing this New Year!
