The Zankoulizer allows you build your zankoul avatar online, choosing from a collection of hair styles, eyes, face, mouth, etc… Once it’s done, it can be mailed to yourself or someone else. A copy of of the avatar will be generated on the server, and sent as a PNG mail attachment. There is also a VIP section where visitors can request a limited edition custom-made avatar from the artist (Maya Zankoul).

The page makes use of Javascript, with PHP on the server side. Some aspects were challenging, like being able to generate the image on the server, or having the browser download 40 or more images (all the choices) in an orderly and reliable fashion. Thankfully it all worked out well and was ready for the opening of Maya’s new office.
