I recently moved into a new floor in work which has giant windows - an excellent opportunity for post-it art. So knocked up a quick program in Processing (as it's easy and I'm lazy) to approximate given the fairly standard palette of colours below:
There's bound to be millions of such programs floating around the internet, but hey-ho it filled a half-hour or so. Fire up the code here into Processing and use the following controls to adjust the image.
| key | action |
| - | decrease size of postit (increasing resolution) |
| + or = | increase size of postit (decreasing resolution) |
| w | toggle dark lines between postits |
| [mouse click] | open another file |
It'll display an image, together with the post-it approximation to the right, like so:
... a better approximation is displayed. Based on a size of roughly 72.6mm x 72.6mm per post-it, the real world dimensions of the post-it masterpiece are dumped to the Processing console:
I just need to find a suitable pack of post-its and an interesting image, and I'm all set :)
