+# calligraphy
+
+`calligraphy` is a project made to generate calligraphy practice sheets. Each sheet generated
+focuses on a specific font (provided by Google Fonts), allowing users to download dynamically
+generated sheets on the fly.
+
+## Design
+
+- Pages are dynamically generated by the browser. No backend needed.
+- Fonts are dynamically fetched and loaded from Google's Font API
+    - Fonts are converted to base64 and placed in the PDF as needed.
+- Page sentences can be dynamically generated as needed, or typed in by users
+- Customizable
+    - Font Family
+    - Font Color
+    - Font Opacity
+    - Font Size
+    - Guideline Opacity
+    - Guideline Color
+    - Guideline Style
+    
+## Method
+
+Vue.js is used to manage all of the UI. Material Design is the CSS framework used to design this
+web application. 
+
+## Local Deployment
+
+- Project setup
+    - `npm install`
+- Compiles and hot-reloads for development
+    - `npm run serve`
+- Compiles and minifies for production
+    - `npm run build`
+-  Lints and fixes files
+    - `npm run lint`
+- Customize configuration
+    - See [Configuration Reference](https://cli.vuejs.org/config/).
