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 course consist of lectures, live coding workshops, and coding exercises. The independent work consists of weekly coding assignments, assigned reading, and some smaller research and design oriented exercises. The weekly workload is 14h of class time and 13h of independent work. The final course projects will be presented on the last day of the course (1.12.2022).
For programming we use p5.js which is a JavaScript library intended for creative coding. We write our code in the p5.js web editor. You will need to sign up to be able to save your code online.
