Creating Unique Patterns for Printing
I’ve been toying around with generative design for a while. In short this means writing some code where you introduce certain parameters and elements of design but leaving room for the computer to apply a random element. Its grulling work up-front creating the script but it leaves me with running the programme then accepting what has been produced or rejecting it and running again….all within a few seconds.
I eventually want to produce an image of such appeal that it would be worth sending it off to the printers to have it printed and framed and mounted on the wall.
Below is a link to the code and the ability to ‘generate’ your own images. This version is a little simplistic but sometimes less is more.
I have also introduced a number of slider controls so you can change the colours; unfortunatly I have not made the colour selection subtle enough and changing the colours via the slider only reults in some seriously awful vivid colours.
You can also put you own colours in using hex codes. A good place to aquire some good colour combinations is adobe’s colour wheel webpage.
