My World Has Room For Wildlife

My work over the last couple of weeks has involved analyzing images and reconstructing them using words and letters. There exist many fonts that actually contain non-letterform designs and my techniques work with them as well. For the image below I made use of the Animals font by Alan Carr to draw the component shapes. The starting seed image of the globe is a screen capture from NASA World Wind.

I have a vector version of this image in PDF format that can be printed at any resolution and I think the design would look great in poster or T-shirt form. I'm going to try a little experiment to gauge the commercial potential of this kind of thing. I will send you the PDF for a minimum donation of $20 US to Neoformix and you may then use it to print up to 10 physical items - posters, mousepads, T-shirts, whatever. The image has a width:height ratio of 4:5 and so would match perfectly a 16 x 20 inch print.

Note that this is a manual process - I don't expect thousands of requests ! After your donation you will likely have to wait a few hours until I process it.

Here is a zoomed image of the area around the Gulf of Mexico:
