This mini-ex resembles a white plasticbag with the text ”TANHK YOU” repeatdedly misspelled on a pink quadratic background. One of the five lines is in solid red colour, whereas the rest are just red outlines. By looking at the code, it is easy to see how it was made, as it consists mainly of the forementioned background, a bunch of rect and text.
Code excerpt:
function setup() {
createCanvas(800, 800);
background(255, 192, 203);
}
function draw() {
fill(250, 250, 250);
stroke(250, 250, 250);
fill(220, 20, 60);
strokeWeight(2)
stroke(220, 20, 60);
textSize(36);
text("TAHNK YOU", 265, 480);
fill(250, 250, 250);
textSize(36);
text("TAHNK YOU", 265, 520);
}
A series of different colours have been used, both for the background and the fill and stroke of the rect and text lines. Also strokeWeight (the thickness of the text) and textSize( font size) are allocated.
The error
The apparent error represented in this work is very much in the observers face, being the missplled ”TAHNK YOU” text. This error is a very obvious and easy-to-notice and correct in the real world, which might speak on the actual error itself. As the creator wrote herself(in the readMe file), the manufactorer probably made a spelling error on accident, however it is mentioned that errors and the unexcepted outcome thereof might lead to something quite pleasing and/or interesting.
As the aesthetic looks of the background in contrast to the bag and the text is the main focus in this work, it is noteworthy to discuss whether the misspelled text was an intial error, that was kept in the design after reconsideration. Perhaps the designers decided to keep the misspelling, as has certainly been seen before in similar designs.
Personal thoughts
First of all i find the layout aesthetically pleasing from a visual standpoint. The colours work and harmonize very well toghether and make it pleasing to look at.
The very much ”in-your-face” but not unpleasant error is very easily detectable but also throws you off a bit. I personally enjoy the ever so slightly ”disturbing” sight of a misspelling of such a common word. It adds a small layer of difference to an otherwise insignificant design (a white plasticbag). This also leads me to my previous thoughts on, whether the creator of the work and the hypothetical manufactorers of the plastic bag design, decided to keep the error. The very subtle and innocent error, that makes you reconsider the intentions behind are the interesting bit about this work.
From a techinal standpoint, this work is very simple. The coding uses very few features and dimensions possible in javascript. Whether this was intentional or not is unsure, however maybe exploration of images, 3-d models or similar would have upped the aesthetics visuals of this work even further. There is also nothing to ”do”, which is definitely not a must, however the creator writes in her own readme file, that programs often are interactive via input and output. That is also a point which could be explored in a further developing of this program or another work.
