EXPERIMENTAL COVER DESIGN

EXPERIMENTAL COVER DESIGN

For this project, I used Processing to create a 100-page PDF filled with grid-based designs of circles, with every page being unique. The idea was to explore generative design by combining structure (a consistent grid) with random variations in size, colour, and layout to create something visually interesting.

The grid is built using rows and columns, with circles spaced evenly. I added randomness to their sizes and colours to make each page feel fresh and different. Each circle has two layers: a larger outer circle and a smaller inner circle, both with randomly assigned colours. This layering effect adds depth and complexity to the design.

I also randomised the background colour on each page to make the variations even more distinct. By using the PDF renderer in Processing, I automated the creation of all 100 pages. Each page is drawn recursively, ensuring that the process runs smoothly without manual intervention.

This approach allowed me to explore how randomness and repetition can work together in generative design. It was a great way to experiment with coding while creating something artistic and unique on every page.
