Thisbook is an essential resource for arts educators and practitioners who want to explore code as a creative medium, and serves as a guide for computer scientists transitioning from STEM to STEAM in their syllabi or practice. It provides a collection of classic creative coding prompts and assignments, accompanied by annotated examples of both historic and contemporary projects. These are enriched by more than 170 illustrations of creative work and a set of interviews with leading educators. Picking up where standard programming guides leave off, the authors highlight alternative programming pedagogies suitable for the art- and design-oriented classroom, including teaching approaches, resources, and community support structures.

? Gimkit Creative Tutorial Introduction


Near a clunky IBM computer from the 1970s, the giggles of teenagers can be heard again and again. Black-and-white photos show people in offices wearing strange smocks, sitting in front of huge machines with tiny tube screens, dully hacking characters into keyboards. At that time, computers could already be found in research facilities and large companies, but nowhere near private homes. There was still no good reason to buy a computer, because the monstrously large machines were not only unimaginably expensive, but also completely useless for private purposes. To make matters worse: Anyone who wanted to operate a computer had to program it. There were neither modern programming languages that were easy to read, nor anything like the Internet, where people could quickly and easily search for the right solution.


Parisian artist Vera Molnar has become famous for knowing how to tame these early versions of the computer. Towards the end of the 1960s, she was one of the first people in the world to use the promising machine as an artistic tool. Today she is considered a pioneer of computer art and creative coding.


But what exactly does creative coding mean? In my eyes, most definitions fail because they try to explain the term on the basis of a medium. The entry on Wikipedia is a good example, because it directly lists examples of use, which strongly narrow the view of the reader and thus only allow a very limited view of the technology itself. To me it seems more useful to define the term more abstractly, as Mark C. Mitchell and Oliver Bown do.


The further the learning process progresses, the better the programmers understand how the computer works. Gradually, parallels even reveal themselves between human thinking and the logic of the machine. In a sense, creative coding is a method that enables programmers to formulate their own thoughts and ideas in a new way. Thus, step by step, the entrance to a new world of design without a previously defined medium opens up to them.


Accordingly, the (mostly visual) results of creative coding are also not directly predictable in advance and are often only vaguely predefined. They emerge through experimentation. Compared to conventional programming, Creative Coding is primarily about expression. Functionality takes a back seat. The point is not just to write code that is as logical as possible, but to generate creative results with the code.


Creative coding is often equated or confused with generative design. The terms have some overlaps, but they each conceal something different. Generative design is a method that involves writing algorithms that can design autonomously. It is about developing a system, or set of rules, that serves as the basis for generating media in the broadest sense.


Generative design, compared to creative coding, is not theoretically tied to computer programming, but has been used for centuries for design in architecture and art. Examples include oriental and Islamic ornaments and patterns based on mathematical principles or the generative photographs of Gottfried Jger or Karl Martin Holzhuser.


A special feature of Creative Coding and Generative Design is the fact that the horizon of these methods far exceeds that of ordinary software tools. Design software is usually conceived for solving a comparatively narrow range of tasks, so that clear boundaries emerge. These boundaries dissolve when working with code, as illustrated by the following model, which is roughly based on the IPO-model (Input, Process, Output) from software development.


The procedure of generative design can be clearly explained by a project I initiated. In 2017, I had the idea of using algorithms to transform the notes of the Prelude in C by the German music composer Johann Sebastian Bach into graphic representations of the musical structure. The piece of music lent itself ideally to this purpose because it consists of a regular sequence of individual notes. I transferred a MIDI data set of the famous piano piece into a list of numerical values, which then determined the color or brightness values in a regular two-dimensional grid. This created graphics that visually mapped and interpreted the piece of music.


Creative Coding is a method that uses computer programming for artistic expression. In this method, the goal is not predefined and the process is based on discovery, variation, and exploration of mostly unexpected results.


In contrast, Generative Design is a purpose-driven method in which a process is designed that converts an input in the form of data or algorithms into a medium. While programming or the computer can be used as a tool in this process, in principle the method is detached from it and has been used in art and architecture for thousands of years.


For TYPEONE magazine issue 07, we consider code through two primary lenses. Function, first and foremost, and the artistic possibilities that it creates coming in close behind. Within these two areas, we go even deeper, exploring the exciting forms of creative expression, with code. From exploring how design studios are using it as a tool to create their creative solutions, fused with the art of creative coding in building interactive, unconventional websites with Korean-born designer Yehwan Song, and algorithmic, data-driven brand identities with ex-Pentagram designer, and now head of her own agency, Talia Cotton, this issue has so much more!


With every issue, we dedicate ourselves to the task of providing you with grounded pieces of advice from industry professionals to better your creative career, relatable content from designers at all stages of their career journeys, inspirational stories, and a fresh, unique perspective on the world of graphic design and typography.


I've been using Photoshop and Premiere Pro for a while now, and all of a sudden it stopped working. I tried restarting, reinstalling, but now I can't install it back because it says "Sever disconnection (error code 206). Does anyone know how to fix this? (It's on mac to be specific)


Any other ideas? I'm having the same problem, also on a Mac, and this just started recently after years of having no problems. My installation is through a larger employer license, but it's on a personal computer. I tried disabling the firewall, turning off antivirus, rebooting the computer... nothing works.


While it it curious that the page linked to by kglad and the page -cloud/kb/troubleshoot-download-install-logs.html?promoid=Z662FS34&m... offer completely different diagnoses and fixes for the 206 error, neither set works for me.


Yeeeesssss... I've submitted a ticket, but since this is not an enterprise-administered machine and the login to my enterprise account does work, the only thing that would be an issue on my organization's end is if they cancelled the Adobe contract without telling us, right? (It is listed as active on their software site.)


Enterprise subscription, but my workplace IT doesn't fix problems on personal computers, regardless of what software we're running. When we thought it was just me, they basically told me I was on my own. Fortunately(?) this problem then cropped up on a bunch of Macs here, including ones they do administer, so they had to figure out a solution. See what I posted above.
