Ever wondered how your favorite apps are able to generate letters in absence of a picture on say a profile picture. Do these developers sit at their desks creating actual images all the possible 1-2 letter combinations? Probably not! I'm embarrassed to say that I started to do this until I learned this cool code.

Think about all the combinations you would have to do. A-Z for just the one letter initials. Then A+A-Z, B+A-Z..... too many. In the following short tutorial you will learn how to take text, say Harry Potter, and generate an actual image of HP.

Now before we continue there are always multiple ways to accomplish something. Some make more sense than other and some less. However, I believe in being aware of the other options so you at least have it in your bag of tricks. So again, this is not the only way to do this, and it might not even be the "best way"

I personally like seeing the final result of a tutorial before I dive in, so without further blabbering from me, here is the final result.
