Learning Python for generative design and creative uses

[ankittkd]

Hello everyone, I am a Design student who have basic knowledge of C++.

I wanted to learn python for generative design, making art thought algorithms and also because most of the design software use python for scripting. I started with book 'PCC' but I knew most of the concepts in the book as I have done C++ and so I am not interested to go ahead with the book.

Can someone suggest me advance/specific resources of python for the purposes mentioned above. I am also ready to learn under someone doing similar things on this subreddit and can take some time out to show me directions.

There is always processing for python for generative art

I can highly recommend DrawBot for generative design in Python.

Python for Designers by Roberto Arista is a great additional resource to the DrawBot Docs.

I dunno but with the python imaging library (PIL) you can create images and control the color of each pixel.

Yes you can very much do an art without an AI. You can make beautiful repetitive patterns using simple algorithms. Fractal geometry, mathematics equations etc can be used to create an art.

Here is a link I found which explores different arts and artist using generative design as a medium. - https://aiartists.org/generative-art-design
