Whilst on Twitter yesterday, I followed a link via @Retinart (Alex Charchar) regarding a great new site aptly named Learn Something New Every Day.

It has weird and wonderful facts that are illustrated and updated daily. Here are 10 such facts from the site, with amusingly simple yet effective and colourful images. Don’t rely on these facts for accuracy, but I’m sure they’re true ;)

10 Excellent Fractal Images for Inspiration

I’ve always admired fractal-images and art from the moment I first saw them. In a nut-shell, fractals are forms made out of mathematical formula; a better explanation is offered in the following quote:

A fractal is generally “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,” a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning “broken” or “fractured.” A mathematical fractal is based on an equation that undergoes iteration, a form of feedback based on recursion. [Quote taken from Wikipedia]

The following 10 fractal images only show a glimpse of what can be achieved using fractals. Be they blue, green, orange or multicolored, these digital fractal-art images can truly inspire…
