LoFi Poster Machine
A quick prototype for a web-based poster-design-application, proofing that graphic-design-tools can definitely be built with web-technologies. Developing web-based design-tools has many advantages:
- They are accessible to anyone on any device
- They restrict the user to stay in a predefined visual system
- More or less “beautiful” output is ensured
- Can be used for social-media-campaigns
- “User-generated content” for brand-communication
- They can be deployed as real desktop- and/or mobile-apps
- High-resolution output
