I wanted to share with the class a project in design I did with processing. Images of it and a description are at gregcoledesigns.com.

Budget Cuts Vinyl

Mock-up of a 120' x 60' building vinyl

For this project we were asked to create a vinyl building covering for a gallery exhibit about local issues. I choose to explore the problems associated with budget cuts to the university arts and music program. To create the image seen below, I created a program from scratch that rotated vector shapes around an origin point while changing their color from vibrant hues of blue and purple to dulled out grays. Programming was chosen over more traditional techniques because its mathematical system that creates this work of decreasing quantities is related to the structure of the system that has led to these problems.

The program that creates these images can be interacted with here.
