Generate An ASCII Graphic From A Text

 30hueyc

For those who don't know what an ASCII art is, well according to Wikipedia, "ASCII art is a 20th century art movement that utilizes computers for presentation and consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable (from a total of 128) characters defined by the ASCII Standard from 1963 and ASCII compliant character sets with proprietary extended characters".

In short, it means creative text-based art. There are actually quite a number of softwares and apps that lets you create a graphic from a text. One of them is the Text Ascii Art Generator developed by Patorjk. It offers a wide choice (at least 300) of different interesting fonts that you can't even find them in Microsoft Word. Besides that there is an aligning feature that helps you make your graphic on the left, right or center. The default is the boring black text display but this generator is thoughtful enough and allows users to add some beautiful colors in their work.

You can even type in real-time which means that as you type in the text-field, the graphic will appear in the display below almost instantly. After you're satisfied with your work, copy and paste the symbols anywhere you want.

By the way, I've taken some time to search for a few wonderful and amazing ASCII art pieces you've probably never seen before. Here they are -

The Google Android powered smartphones by HTC. Their first attempt with mix, the HTC T-Mobile G1, didn't quite had the eye candyish stuff and get a big fan following. And even though Google announced an unlocked Android G1 around the 2008 holidays, people still preferred the iPhone 3G. Gizmodo has uncovered some leaked photos of a new handset which appear to be quite authentic. The first thing you would notice here is its shiny plastic finish, which is very much welcoming from the pale gray look on G1. Also this time around there is not physical keyboard present, which is a little disappointing. Though the touchscreen is large, but we know the current Android interface had some issues. The back side has a new surprise A 3.2 Mega Pixel camera, though even mid range phones for vendors like Nokia boast a 5.0 Mega Pixel camera these days. What would be interesting is the video capabilities of the G2 (if there are any). The current rumors suggest that this handset would hit the shelves...
