This free course, Algorithmic design, explores the creative potential of designing with algorithms. This is part of the new BDes Design qualification at The Open University. Learn to think algorithmically and tweak code to create your own wallpaper patterns and be part of contemporary design practices. Through hands-on graphical experimentation using p5.js JavaScript, you'll get to experience concepts like repetition, serendipity and modularity. The algorithmic wallpaper you create will allow you to demonstrate your newfound design skills and make something beautiful for your home.
