CODING for Visual design
Q: Why visual design?
A: It's a rapidly evolving powerful design tool to express and explain ideas.
GOAL
Make some visual design/art for assignments or projects based on an uncomfortable topic using only code, that's probably original in terms of technique and aesthetics.
Process
- Check videos and examples online
- Test out some concepts with code
- Get correct help if stuck at some point
- Showcase and get feedback
- Start over and explore
- IMP: No photoshop!
