A series of artfully arranged rusty metal shelf brackets, rendered in chunky (wide) pixels, as would be displayed on the BBC microcomputer from the 1980s.

The overall effect is of a series of intersecting triangular shapes, rendered in a high-contrast, nine colour palette of bright primary colours.

Something for this week's #CodePenChallenge: 1 div grainy/ dithered gradient blob with a simple SVG filter https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/GRBrWeY

I've given this concept a try before https://twitter.com/anatudor/status/1407388305948397571 but lately, I've been toying with SVG filters a bit more and... I got better at it...🤷‍♀️

The palette is muted and consists of primarily of yellow, brown, black, grey and blue on a dim cream background.

A pile of frost encrusted leaves overlaid with a chunky character set based interpretation of the leaves. Instead of recognisable characters, each character in the set consists of differently size blocks, checkerboards, etc. The end result is quite chaotic.

In many ways the correct response.

A dense nest of tree branches hanging over a lane. The image is rendered as it would appear on an Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and as such is very high contrast with a few garish patches of colour. The dithering dot patterns between the colours is visible, as is the Spectrum’s “two colours per attribute block” limitation.
