  • 1.  Edward Lear Alphabet

    Posted 05-13-2020 09:22 AM
    Hi everyone-

    During this period out of work from COVID, I used my time to build something I've always wanted to make. It's an animated interactive e-book-like web application celebrating a nonsense poem by Edward Lear.  I used open access and public domain art from a few different places - mostly the Met and the Public Domain Review.

    Please check it out and enjoy!  https://edward-lear-alphabet.com/#/ 

    It was a delight to make and I hope that it brightens up someone's day.

    Hi,
    This is great!  I was wondering which software you used to do this.

    Thank you so much!

    I used Photoshop to slice the images and Javascript to animate them.  The UI was done with Vue.js.

    I'm planning to write a post about how it all works, but I haven't done that yet.

    Thank you for asking!
