The computer is an amazing tool that most designers really do not use to its full potential. The software applications that are used by the masses are just that, created for the masses and are not perfect for every project. In this class we will be looking at using computational algorithms as a tool to create beautifully designed visual graphics.
Over the semester we will be exploring design topics like form, color, grids, typefaces and 3 dimensional objests and combining these with computational topics like randomization, repitition, transformation, generative and data manipulated design. Each class will consist of a lecture and live coding examples as well as student project presentations and critiques. We will be using Processing as our main platform to focus on the intersection between the visual arts and code.
