  Welcome to Creative Computation for Visual Communication Design!

  
  

  On this course we will learn how to use computation as a practical and experimental method for visual communication design. In addition to getting a hands-on introduction to the world of programming, we will also take a more theoretical and critical look at computational practices in design.

  The class is organised online on Zoom, consisting of short lectures, group discussions, live coding workshops, as well as coding exercises carried out independently and in pairs. The independent work consists of weekly coding assignments, assigned reading, and some smaller research and design oriented exercises. The weekly workload is 9h of class time and 18h of independent work. The final course projects will be presented on the last day of the course (3.12.2020), and it will be weighted as 25% of the course grade.

  For programming we will be mainly using p5.js which is a JavaScript library intended for creative coding. You will also need a code editor: I highly recommend Brackets, but you can also use a text editor of your choice or the p5.js web editor.
