Inspiration
I was inspired by 90's geometric art. The images created feel adjacent to Memphis Group patterns. I was also inspired when I read this medium article, earlier this month. I made a conscious effort to make the colors color-blind-friendly. Art should be accessible.
What it does
Randomly generates art and saves it in a .svg file. The background color, number of shapes, and types of shapes are all randomized.
How I built it
I used python 3 and pycairo to make the project. I utilized Object-Oriented Programming concepts to create different objects that would add different shapes to the canvas.
Challenges I ran into
- Creating Algorithms that made visually pleasing art
- Getting PyCairo to work properly.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
- Making something similar to what could be found in modern art museums
What I learned
- How vector graphics use mathematics to create a lossless scalable object
- Deeper understanding of implementing classes in python
What's next for Color-Blind-Friendly Generative Art
- Create more interesting designs using Vector Mathematics
- Interface with a website to create downloadable .svg and .png files
