FasticFrame

A simple tool to create framed profile pictures for social media in support of a cause. This project is a fork of avatar-framer.

• Dynamically generate a static site based off of configuration options and the number of frame images provided.
• Just provide the images, a logo and your copy.
• Runs entirely in the browser (no images are uploaded to a server) to minimize privacy concerns.

Usage - Generate your site

FasticFrame is setup with primary and secondary colors in tailwind.config.js to generate the site. You can edit the primary and secondary colors directly, or add your own. All tailwind default colors are also available.

theme: {
  extend: {
    colors: {
      primary: {
        default: '#1e429f',
        dark: '#233876',
      },
      secondary: {
        default: "#e02424",
      }
    }
  },
},

Fonts

Our defult font is Rubik. You can change this by importing a different font in the top of style.css and updating tailwind.config.js to incorporate the font.

theme: {
  extend: {
    fontFamily: {
        'sans': ['Rubik','Helvetica', 'Arial', 'sans-serif'],
    },
  },
},

Header & Footer

The header including the top nav, and footer can be edited directly by updating nav.html and footer.html in the _includes directory respectively.
