Nice, but what is the save button supposed to do, it doesn't seem to be working for me.

Render's it to a data uri of a png file, worked for me on Chrome

did I get a downvote for that? why?

Cool nice work, you'd also like Evan Roth's Typographic Illustration - he's got a video and source code here: http://fffff.at/jay-z-kanye-west-source-code/

First of all, this is truly very awesome. I was interested in the book it is based, anyone knows the english title (if there is one)?

Also, when saving, it produces the longest url I have ever seen, fun!

The text is from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll.

No I mean the actual book the example was based on: http://generative-gestaltung.de/

Looks like there is no english version after all!

I'm always impressed by tech artistry like this. Eventually, we'll have so many specific, one-off, easy to use tech art tools that we won't even need specialized artists anymore.

Looks great! Too bad I don't have an iPad to test it out, would be probably interesting on a touch screen.

fun times, an image source option for the background would be a cherry on top re the demo.

Pretty cool

Badass!

I'm sorry to say, the first thing I did was this:
