Solution: Cabbage and wolf together are no problem. First the farmer takes the goat to the other (left) side. Then he goes back and takes the cabbage with him. When he arrives at the other (left) side, he picks up the goat and takes it back to the original (right) side. Once he arrives at the original (right) side, he drops the goat and takes the wolf to the other (left) side. He drops the wolf, goes back by himself and finally takes the goat to the other side. (you can swop wolf and cabbage).

Two men walk into a restaurant. They both order exactly the same drink. One man drinks it fast and one man drinks it slowly. The one who drinks it fast lives. The one who drinks it slowly dies. WHY?


THIS FRIDAY @ INTERIM PRESENTATION YOU NEED TO CLEARLY EXPRESS AND PRESENT YOUR MAIN GOALS FOR YOUR SET OF FOUR WALLPAPERS Show and explain within three minutes presentations - your first ideas - sources of inspiration - your goals (what you want to achieve) - your plan for next week, how you intend to achieve your goals You need to bring accurate paper sketches 10x20cm each, mounted on black/grey DIN A3 cardboard/foamboard. Those sketches should also be available as scans on your blog.

Don’t Panic Making pretty pictures requires good design not complex code


void yourFunction(){ strokeWeight(10); stroke(0,random(0,5)); line(0,0,100,0); line(0,0,0,100); }

4 lines of code in the pattern maker: Not a fantastic but still quite interesting (patternSeperationX and patternSeperationY have also been changed)


Why is it interesting? (My theories) It is not immediately obvious new patterns emerge more for the mind to work out both structure and randomness (too random becomes noise)

Less interesting (IMO)


Too much random is noise (ugly...ugly.. noise) Randomness without structure is noise.


So: what’s the trick? Well what are your nifty design tricks?


Interlude Time for pretty pictures


A good way to tackle generative art/design: Treat it like a sculpture


Have fun!
