typoGenerator. typoGenerator is a random generator for 'typoPosters'. a typoPoster is a poster, created from images and letters/text that doesn´t have any sense, just to look good [via coolstop]

Cripes. People get degrees in design for doing this crap. About half the time they use the word "communicate" or a quote by Eric Gill. Nice to see that machines can masturbate with graphic design as well as humans can.

I kinda agree with argybarg here. This is artistic the way someone in the seventh grade using PhotoShop for the first time is artistic after discovering "hey! I can make the text change color!" and thinking that a REALLY good picture requires you to use every single tool at least once somewhere on the screen.

Well, you could sell it as a ransom note generator, y'know, to avoid all that messy cutting and pasting out of magazines and newspapers...

Reminds me of a fun application freely downloadable at Move Design called n-Gen. It can give you some good ideas for text/image layout.

Nix the ransom note generator. I tried to make one that said "MEFI GIVE ME ALL YOUR PANCAKES OR THE GIRL LOSES A TOE. NO FUNNY STUFF." and it was the sucks. Oh, well. Back to Time magazine and the newspaper.

I put my name into the magic box and it came back with something pretty. Maybe I'll make it my new business card....
