Iterate (A Logo Generator)
Through Processing, I looked into the idea of creating a logo generator that followed the "basic tropes" of Graphic Design. A grid, shapes with a color palette and some bold text to display the name of the company. It is supposed to showcase what happens when the designer aspect of Graphic Design is removed from the process. Everything seems very similar, even though there are way too many possibilities. The concept of iteration is pushed towards design students often, something that I wanted to challenge simultaneously with this project. Some examples of the outputs are shown below:
The code for this generator is given below. The array at the start is admittedly there for the purposes of understanding the function of an array in Processing. The code functions without it.
//Create the array to pick between Red, Green and Blue
//This is a complex array to create, it is possible to just use a string of numbers
//I used this array to test things and just have an understanding of Arrays
color rValue = color (int(random(0,255)),0,0);
color gValue = color (0,int(random(0,255)),0);
color bValue = color (0,0,int(random(0,255)));
color[] rgbValue = new color[3];{
rgbValue[0] = rValue;
rgbValue[1] = gValue;
rgbValue[2] = bValue;
}
