This is a class for designers and other visual artists wanting to use code to produce systematic graphic designs. The two-day workshop is structured around the basic elements of graphic design (form, color, typography, grid systems, etc), but participants will use a programming language instead of a traditional design tool to create algorithmic generative designs. Students will learn how to create procedural shapes, generate dynamic color schemes, use randomization to create dynamic designs, and publish it all to the web. The class is taught in P5.js, a JavaScript library aimed at making coding accessible to artists, designers, educators, and beginners.


Although this course requires no prior knowledge about JavaScript, students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with P5.js before the class by watching Daniel Shiffman’s Foundations of Programming in JavaScript playlist on YouTube.


Instructor:


Programming Design Systems is taught by Rune Madsen, a New York-based artist, designer, and educator who use programming languages to create things with the computer. Rune is currently writing a book called “Programming Design Systems”, which this class is based on.
