Title: The 9-pixel Typeface
Size: 5021

URL: http://www.sylloge.com/5k/entries/18/index.html

Author's Description:
The title of my 5k site is 'The 9-pixel Typeface'. I wanted to create something that resembled your award in spirit, and it is my hope that I in some way succeeded. Trying to make a site using only 5k is similar to trying to make the perfect ampersand using only two colours and a very limited amount of pixels. Both tasks require a lot of attention to detail, and that is, after all, what design is all about.

Title: random rothko
Size: 979

URL: http://www.sylloge.com/5k/entries/30/rothko.html

Author's Description:
I've long admired the work of Abstract Expressionist painter Mark Rothko.

"In 1964, eight years after Mark Rothko painted the Sheldon Gallery's YellowBand, the artist shrouded his studio skylight with a parachute, creating adimly lit gloom he found ideal for his work. Increasingly, if notsystematically, his work darkened. His last paintings and large works onpaper are his simplest; divided approximately in half, the works areexecuted in black over blackened brown or gray.

"Given the widely published perception of Abstract Expressionist works asrecording the artist's creative struggle, in which the process of creatinginvolves an acutely felt, private existential drama, the somber course ofRothko's art seems a metaphor for the artist's approaching decision to endhis own life. Perhaps it is. But Rothko's work involves much larger and moregeneral intentions. . . . Rothko looked inward to find his own art; hissearch was not for simply a means of self-expression but for a timeless andspiritual image that captured the mythic power of primitive art.

"At first, his floating blocks of color were arranged in a soft-edgedgeometric arrangement, but later these were swiftly aligned in parallelbands of color, no longer in any way emblematic of totemic or pictographicimagery. They were wholly abstract, resonant forms with 'the impact of theunequivocal."

Diane Waldman, Mark Rothko 1903-1970: A Retrospective (New York: Harry N.Abrams, with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, 1978) p. 39.

Title: Space Invaders - Atari 2600
Size: 5065

URL: http://www.sylloge.com/5k/entries/41/index.html

Author's Description:
This one's titled 'Space Invaders - Atari 2600'. It's as close to the Atari 2600 version of Space Invaders as I could get with <5k. I had to leave out the shields, multiple lives, explosions, sounds and the ufo but everything else is in there. A - left, D - right, space - fire. Anyone over 25 will know what to do. It gets tricky by the 4th screen. Works in 4+ browsers except IE4.x on the Mac (IE5 works, though).

Title: fun with fibonacci
Size: 816

URL: http://www.sylloge.com/5k/entries/48/h.htm

Author's Description:
My brief description comes from encarta: Fibonacci Series

Fibonacci Series, in mathematics, series of numbers in which each member is the sum of the two preceding numbers. For example, a series beginning 0, 1 ... continues as 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so forth. The series was discovered by the Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci (circa 1170-c.1240), also called Leonardo of Pisa.

Fibonacci numbers have many interesting properties and are widely used in mathematics. Natural patterns, such as the spiral growth of leaves on some trees, often exhibit the Fibonacci series.

Title: Simply Nothing
Size: 5103

URL: http://www.sylloge.com/5k/entries/57/index.html

Author's Description:
Nothing is simply nothing. The concept is nothing, therefore the site is about nothing. As you touch each letter ( S-I-M-P-L- Y ), they will disappear. Certain letters ( S-M-L ), when you click on them, they will bring you to a new page which has a word nothing.

As a whole, the site is a mere pleasure of idiocrasy. For some people who has nothing to do and have time to spare.
