With Professor Danne Woo, 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 objects and combining these with computational topics like randomization, repetition, transformation, generative and data manipulated design. We will be using Processing as our main platform to focus on the intersection between the visual art, design, and code.
