Dashboard Mosaic Complete

August 26, 2005 ·  

It’s been a while since the dashboard contest started and ended, and this is what I have concluded.

1) I’m not as artisitic as I thought.
2) There are alot of really cool widgets out there that I have never seen.

I did make one poster that I will share. But I would really like to make these screenshots available to everyone to see what else could be made. I have them in a 200MB zip folder. If anyone is handy with torrents, or have any other suggestions, contact me. I’d love to get them out there.

Either way, here is what I was able to do. Here is a picture of Steve Jobs in his younger days.

And here is my mosaic poster (downsized of course)

Here is a link for the full size poster Contact me if you’d like the poster, I think you will be very impressed at the detail of the dashboard shots when you zoom in on the poster.

That was a fun project, like I said, I’d love to see others use the screenshots and post image links here. We just have to find a way to get them distributed. I took the 500 best ones and made them 800 pixels wide. That made the zip file much smaller and they are still plenty big for mosaic tiles. You can grab them here. (Warning: 150MB download. Thanks Dagfinn for hosting.)

Please post back your results.

PS: Some people have been asking which program I used. I found MozoDojo to be the best one.

    Yeah, I would really like to get access to those screenshots. I’ll do some investigating and see what I can come up with.

    That is SO cool! Brian, you definitely had one of the best ideas ever and I look forward to seeing what we can all build from it! Thanks for posting now I just have to find something to create with them all :)

    How about distributing the huge poster zip file via BitTorrent? http://www.bittorrent.com/

    Hasn’t bittorrent come to the MAC world yet?

    Sean, I think that is a great idea. If you grab the zip file and are able to make a torrent of it, please let me know and I will post a link to the torrent file.

    Nice idea.

    Another program for mosaics is MacOSaiX

    [...] Mozodojo is another mosaic image maker and has been our most popular freeware post on FreeMacWare.com. (Partly because of acontest I held on my personal blog.) But one feature that I like that is in MacOSaiX is that you can use images from a Google Image search. You just specify which search term you want to use. [...]
