I’m a big fan of Graphic design, and I like using simple and primary shapes, subtle changed color to make meaningful graphic. I believe duplication and overlying of shapes are powerful. Processing is a good place to create graphic design, the ordered and repeating shapes it generated is beautiful, full of rhythm and energy. Sometimes, its random generation may appear some surprising output.
After I learn generating 2D graphics in processing, I start to try drawing some simple shapes in processing just like I used to work in photoshop and Illustration. I hope one day I can use coding to make Graphic design, I mean generate some logos and posters.
So this is the first try, and I’ll keep going.
First, I have a brainstorm to pick up a theme.
I decided to make graphic like a little universe with sparkle starry light and beautiful sky. Then I use several triangles in the center generating an abstract star. Just like this—>
I used loop function to generate subtle changed color, you can see two colors they mixed together in the center of the circle. As well as used loop functions to create three triangles in the center. I draw lines from vertex to the bottom margin witch make it have wonderful visual effect.
Mmmm…I think... it’s not fancy… Okay, let’s add some sparkle light on it! I make some random points around the circle.
for(int i=0;i<=500;i++){
float radius=random(165,190);
float deg=random(0,360);
float angle=radians(deg);
float x=200+(cos(angle)*radius);
float y=200+(sin(angle)*radius);
float r=random(1.5,2.5);
noStroke();
fill(#ffffff,random(150,180));
ellipse(x,y,r,r);
}
Also design for LOGO vision
Finally, I make several versions, and make them together in Photoshop like this.
