A Blue Perspective: Happy Bokeh Type!

Bokeh Type experiment

I just can't get enough of totally Bokeh'd out lights. There's something about the mixture of vibrant colour and transparency that draws me like a fat kid to donuts.

So when I saw NNSS's identity for MG54 Naturaleza Digital it totally blew my mind – in concept, vibrancy, and all round goodness.

The thing is, I'm seeing things in movement nowadays, and I couldn't resist putting the algorithmic touch to their beautiful work. The result is Bokeh Type, a fun little diversion for two minutes or five hours, depending on how stoned you are.

Enjoy!

The source files are here if you're interested in how badly I code.

    Any chance you're posting the source code with it too?

    This is pretty cool! But I see you are going again to the dark side of Flash. :)

    Besides Dmitry, he wants it to actually display smoothly; not just crash broswers ;)

    Nice work! It could be possible to do this via XHTML/CSS/Javascript only, wouldn't it? Maybe using canvas?

    It would be possible to do a simple version of this in JavaScript, but it would be twice as much code, four times as slow, and display on 80% less browsers.

    80% less browsers?

    But what does that matter, given this is a demo/art piece, not commercial work - is *your* audience really 80% IE?

    That's why it was the third point in two much more important points.
