The term generative can refer to a process that is executed computationally. Based on a set of rules and parametric changes, outputs are generated iteratively. Outputs here can be of many types and origins.
In this workshop we have focus on typography as an output informed and transformed by code and change over time.
How can we build systems in code to create generative type? Through a series of exercises exploring the generative, dynamic and playful potential of type, we have created a series of digital outputs presented in this online showcase.
Whisper through the Seasons
Whisper through the seasons is a project about embarking on a journey into the world of winter with typography that seamlessly blends the serene beauty of snow and dynamic type generation using p5.js. Through dynamic snowfall and sound-reactive, a sense of playfulness is introduced and allowing viewers to engage with. By doing so, it creates a generative typographic experience that illuminates the creative decisions and technical details behind this unique exploration of winter through the lens of code-generated typography.
Sketches
During the five-week Type and Media , I focus on using code and p5.js to create unexpected typography outcomes. I learned about interesting concepts in coding, explored sound reactive, and experimented with different types of type animation.
I encountered challenges that that fuelled a deeper understanding of code complexity. The sketches produced during this worksop reflect my commitment to unraveling the technical aspects of scripting, showcasing a synthesis of newfound coding skills and a thoughtful approach to typographic expression.
