DES 150Digital Media Design I

Generative & Interactive Systems

In both cases, the designer sets variables and parameters that shape iterations (possibilities).

Deciding what those variables and parameters are, then selecting, and possibly modifying,

which iterations will produce an effective artifact or series are the significant design decisions.

This concept applies to all forms of procedural thinking and iterative processes—whether or not

computers or software are involved.

UIC / School of Design DES 150 / Digital Media Design I

“In this capacity, the designer is no longer making choices about a single, final object but creating

a matrix encompassing an entire population of possible designs. This is a move from thinking

about an object to thinking about a field of infinite options. This involves searching for and exploring

a population of designs that meet certain requirements, behave in particular ways, or fit the

desires of the designer.”

Generative Design

Parameters and variable that define the visual possibilities of a system through iteration;

selecting and producing a meaningful artifact or series from those iterations.

Interaction Design

Parameters for viewer-participant input and visual feedback that allows “drawing” of iterations;

selecting and producing a meaningful artifact or series from those iterations.

Assignment 04: Generative/Interactive Poster Series

problem: Create a successive series of 3 posters that together visually demonstrate a behavior or

movement concept from the provided list. Use any combination of line, dot, geometric forms,

or letter forms. The series should demonstrate a clear grid and successive structure. May include

black, white, grey, and one color. Each poster has a trim size of 18” x 18”

Begin with a 9 x 9 grid.

note: You do not need to fill each position on the grid in order to articulate the grid.

Behavior & Movement Concepts: Grow / Shrink, Expand / Contract, Advance / Recede,

Float / Drop, Cluster / Scatter, Accumulate / Disperse, Drift, Flow, Decay, Mutate, Zoom, Spin.

Successive Series

UIC / School of Design DES 150 / Digital Media Design I

The series creates a successive relationship. Shared visual elements unite them.

Each change to an element happens successively. It is a gradation of compositions.

All compositions must:

_ stand on their own as well composed (rhythm, tension, & balance)

_ share a distinct visual language (the elements you used)

_ create a sense of rhythm (use extra space to create pace, not fill it up)
