Script to turn your tweets onto existing images.
Background: Had roughly 2000 or so poetry tweets that I wanted to put onto moody glow-art images in a nice typography fashion.
-
Download your tweets into a CSV from your Twitter Profile (via the Settings Menu)
-
Copy your tweets into a txt file, and clean up @replies with regex.
-
Place a \ in front of all spaces and punctuation marks. (Easily done via Atom's replace tool i.e. Replace " " with "\ ")
-
Make sure you have enough images as you have tweets
-
Make sure they are named via number and all the same format. Helpful programs are Bulk Rename Utility and Bulk Image Converter
-
Effect is better if all images used are in landscape orientation. I wrote a script for this
-
Nice to make sure you have no image duplicates. I used Similarity for this.
-
-
Run script. Dependencies are bash and ImageMagick
(If you want to make new images and not caption existing ones, look at the documentation for ImageMagick and it would be a few adjustments in the script.)
