Ice Cream Exercise-
For the ice cream exercise I created a simple grid of ice cream cones that assign different color combinations according to the frame rate of the sketch.
Sketches for Generative Design Systems-
For this assignment I decided to create a system to generate posters about gun control and mass shootings. Rather than using a lot of images since it is such a violent and graphic matter I am hoping to use more simple shapes and typography to bring awareness to this issue.
I’m interested in using the generative grid function in p5.js and creating a texture with text or iconography to represent the victims of mass shootings/failure of gun control. I was also thinking about creating a simple modular typographic system that could work in multiple ways but that seems more difficult than manipulating a grid system for a short assignment such as this one.
This is an example of how I imagine the modular grid posters to work where the amount or size of these ‘bullet holes’ could increase or decrease which would then affect the size and placement of the typography as well.
