Letter Homework
I chose to recreate the letter C, cause it's one of my initials.

This is a very simple Code-Font. It's just for Capital Letters and there are rectangles from A to Z. These Rectangles become smaller from A to Z. A is the biggest and Z a dot.

Homework 2.2
This programm "distort" the font "BEBAS" with triangles. There triangles on the contour of 5 origonal letters of this font. With the position of the mouse u change in x-coordinates the size of the triangle and in y-coordinates the y-position of the indiviual retangles. If you have your right position u can click any key to save this font.

This is my final Project for this Course. You can see it here.
My Intention was to make something "growing" which runs without special programms on every computer. For this I used javascript to animate the letters of this 3 Fonts inside the html5 canvas. U can use the buttons to control what you want to see.
