3) Define Rules

4) Apply Transformations

Generative Characters:

This is the poster presented at the Triennale exhibition.

GDnext:

After several reviews the rules where shaped better and refined trough a number of iterations.
The first project was done again, after that I proceeded to design the second project about a cover book for children.

Considerations:

In my personal experience the generative process has been very difficult to approach in the beginning.
Getting used to this kind of method requires time, but once that it has been learned the following steps become very easy.
The breaking point in my understanding of the process was the passage from the Catalyst to the Paradigm.
I also found very interesting and useful the use of Attributes and References; shaping the whole design process around visualized
concepts gives to the method a very strong identity and a recognizability to the hand of the designer.
I hope to have the possibility in the future to test the power of this method applied to the software, this step further should
permit a larger number of iterations and a better finishing of the process.
