About This Book

Digital technology has not only revolutionized the way designers work, but also the kinds of designs they produce. The development of the computer as a design environment has encouraged a new breed of digital designer; keen to explore the unique creative potential of the computer as an input/output device.

Data-driven Graphic Design introduces the creative potential of computational data and how it can be used to inform and create everything from typography, print and moving graphics to interactive design and physical installations. Using code as a creative environment allows designers to step outside the boundaries of commercial software tools, and create a set of unique, digitally informed pieces of work. The use of code offers a new way of thinking about and creating design for the digital environment.

Each chapter outlines key concepts and techniques, before exploring a range of innovative projects through case studies and interviews with the artists and designers who created them. These provide an inspirational, real-world context for every technique. Finally each chapter concludes with a Code section, guiding you through the process of experimenting with each technique yourself (with sample projects and code examples using the popular Processing language supplied online to get you started).

SPOTLIGHT 
ON
Ariel 
Malka 
Ariel 
Malka 
is 
a 
designer 
and 
programmer 
who 
has 
created 
a 
range 
of 
interactive 
projects. 
Most 
of 
his 
creative 
research 
is 
focused 
on 
experimenting 
with 
different 
forms 
of 
interactive 
typography. 
His 
work 
is 
characterized 
by 
the 
creation 
of 
environments 
that 
transform 
words 
into 
animated, 
fluid 
strings 
and 
ribbons 
of 
text, 
allowing 
the 
user 
to 
read 
and 
experience 
the 
content 
in 
a 
playful 
and 
engaging 
way. 
His 
research 
and 
experiments 
are 
well 
documented 
on 
his 
website 
(chronotext.org). 
Two 
typically 
interesting 
outcomes 
for 
his 
ongoing 
creative 
research 
process 
are 
“Javascriptorium” 
and 
a 
more 
recent 
interactive 
transformation 
of 
James 
Joyce’s 
Ulysses
(1922): 
“He 
Liked 
Thick 
Word 
Soup.”

Javascriptorium
Ariel 
Malka
Ariel 
Malka 
uses 
programming 
to 
generate 
dynamically 
animated 
and 
interactive 
versions 
of 
religious 
spiritual 
texts; 
these 
are 
beautifully 
poetic 
interactive 
typographic 
pieces 
that 
explore 
the 
relationship 
between 
text 
and 
content.

Ariel 
Malka’s 
app 
turns 
sections 
of 
the 
text 
from 
James 
Joyce’s 
Ulysses
(1922) 
into 
interactive 
ribbons 
of 
text. 
e 
act 
of 
reading 
becomes 
an 
intricate, 
challenging, 
but 
pleasurable 
experience 
that 
resonates 
with 
the 
characteristics 
of 
the 
original 
work.
