Generative christmas card

 
Variation

DEADLINE: DECEMBER 2007 CLIENT: THE ALEXANDRA INSTITUTE

Brief

Create a digital christmas card to send our networked members [...].

Description

Every user receives a "Merry Christmas" e-mail containing a web link to the christmas card. When the user is directed to the web page an animated holly bush grows, unfolds and present the message "Merry Christmas [user name]" (#3).

Concept

Every christmas card is unique in both graphics and text (#2). The holly bush becomes a living messenger, handing the personal message to the recipient with a careful gesture.

Thanks

Jacob Rolf Jensen, for creating a spreadsheet program to send out unique e-mails.

Tech

The holly bush was produced using L-systems, force attractions and constrained random. The project was realised in Processing.
