10 Conclusion

Well done! You have created your own algorithmic tiles and wallpaper design for your own home! I hope you are proud of what you managed to achieve.

By using code to design patterns, you learnt to work with patterns algorithmically, not merely visually. By designing the individual tiles and then arranging them into a rosette, you used modularity to design elements for reuse across different scales. By experimenting with the order of the tileSequence, you experienced the power of algorithmic repetition. By randomising the tileSequence, you experienced how algorithms can generate alternative versions and use serendipity as a creative tool.

I hope this short course has made you enthusiastic about wanting to learn more about design. Come and join us at the OU to take your design further!
