The best class I took at the MIT Media Lab was Principles of Visual
Interface Design with John Maeda. It was an
odd class, we did abstract graphic design exercises by writing
Java applets. Writing code that made art. It was a huge stretch for me
since I have no design background. But John's a great teacher and I
learned a huge amount in that class. I
still enjoy looking back at my class
portfolio.
 For fun today I downloaded Processing and whipped out a little design exercise, playing with what a field of ovals looked like. Such a pleasure doing something like this in a refined tool. Processing gets you results quickly and makes it easy to iterate and tinker and try out various ideas. You can try out my applet yourself or just look at the source code. Of course there are lots more Processing examples online. And congratulations to John Maeda on becoming President of RISD! |
