about computer codes,
but there are those that do, UI
engineer Diana
Adrianne Smith creates Flemish and baroque inspired portraits using
HTML and CSS, the two primary presentation markup languages designed to display
web pages,
the portraits fill thousands of lines of code, and Smith has a stringent rule
that all elements must be typed out by hand, meaning that she doesn’t rely on
libraries, shortcuts, or some kind of visual editor, these images are instead
written in part like an essay,
if you are wondering, this is a portion of the 1,968 lines of CSS code Smith wrote to create the portrait above,
troubleshooting the complexities of CSS or HTML problems can stymie even a good developer for hours, let alone forming pearl necklaces, hairdos, facial expressions, and lace collars, via Twitter Smith says she finished her most recent piece over a period of two weekends, how amazing to be able to look at lines of code and know what the instructions will bring.
