10 Epic Works of ASCII Art |
|
ASCII art is an early graphic-design technique, dating back to the 1890s when
typewriters became more than just a new tool for writing. Public speed-typing
competitions and typewriter drawings were a popular form of entertainment and
artwork. The earliest preserved example of typewriter art was made in 1898 by a
woman named Flora Stacey.
As computers advance, so does the ability to create unique artwork. ASCII art is
an outdated practice, but people are still blowing minds by incorporating
typography and shading techniques.
Some of these pieces of ASCII art have seen slight Photoshop alterations, while
others stick to the more traditional medium. Take a look in the gallery above.
