Photocopier

Description

This plugin adds a block style called “Photocopy” to the Image, Gallery, and Media & Text blocks. When applied, it roughly emulates the look of a high-contrast photocopy.

FAQ

How does this work?

The block style applies a handful of CSS filters to your images or text. It looks kind of like a photocopy.

Why are the text styles labeled experimental?

These filters are a little unpredictable — different browsers render them in different ways. But hey, photocopiers are a little unpredictable too! It’s more lifelike this way.

Are there any known issues?

  • The effect doesn’t play great with Image block captions at the moment. The overlay pattern sometimes shows up behind the caption.
  • The warped styles cut off the resize drag handles.

Can I contribute to this plugin?

  • Of course! It’s open source. Visit the GitHub repository to browse the code or submit ideas.

Kjell, I love this plugin so much. You’ll certainly be seeing it in use on my blog. I can’t use it on text yet (at least on Firefox), but at the very least it’ll be on images. Thanks! Keep up the experiments.
