Identicon

I'm looking for an artist to collaborate on a simple identicon generator.

An identicon is a icon that is generated based on a key. The key could be a username, email or whatever, any combination of words, numbers, or other characters. Once the generator has a key it will generate a random image. The same key will always give the same image and very similar keys will give vastly different results.

It's probably easier to show than tell so here's an example. http://identicon.net/ They are using basic shapes and colors but I was thinking it would be neat to stitch together something cooler.

That's where you come in. I'm looking for someone who can make a bunch of layers that can be stitched together, moved, rotated, colorized, etc. to make a cool looking icon. It's up to you what it makes, could be a silhouette, scene, abstract image, whatever you want.

I will handle making the generator and making a simple website for it. This is just a weekend project kind of thing so I don't expect it to make any money but I think it would be a really cool modern/digital art project for both of us.

If you're interested shoot me an email rob@middlerob.com or hit me up on twitter @rob__ot
