Coding for Creative Practice

More images of my code output greeting cards in context.

I got my code outputs printed on a glossy paper and made into greeting cards. Here are images of the greeting cards on top of a present.

To create my code outputs I used a similar workflow each time. I declared my variables at the start of each sketch and then initialized them using the random function, meaning every time the code runs it will initialize the variable at a different random number between 0 and the maximum (600).  I then used those variables to dictate the x and y positions of the drawings in each Processing sketch. Furthermore every point drawn is relative to the x, y variables. I also used some code from the Examples menu to allow me to capture and export a pdf of my code out put.

One of my code outputs applied to a paper shopping bag.

Pantone and CMYK colourings: On the left are my code outputs with pantone swatches applied. I initially wanted to print my code outputs with a pantone colour as i heard it was a way to achieve brighter colours. However when I looked into it I found it was too expensive for a small scale project. I then moved into working in a CMYK colour space instead which you can see on the right.

The two coding outputs applied to a textile surface.

Entourage images of my desired output media: printed material.

A set of second randomly generated images based in the same work flow that was used to make Garden. All of the images were drawn in Photoshop and then loaded into the code.

“I tried to give the elements lots of structure, lots of spacing and super tight connections. Ended up with something vine-like and absolutely stunning.”
