In my previous blog posts, I explored the integration of randomness into design by generating random grids, shapes, and color palettes. Today, I want to share the results of combining these elements into my first experimental poster.
To create the poster, I selected two layout grids and two color palettes from my previous experiments, and used two randomly generated shapes. Here’s a breakdown of the process and the results.
1: Combining color palettes and grids
First, I experimented with applying the color palettes to the chosen grid layouts. This stage was important in understanding how the randomness of the color and the grid structure interacted visually.
2: Integrating shapes
After exploring the color and grid combinations, I further experimented with the first grid and color combination by adding the two randomly generated shapes. This addition brought dynamic visual elements that contributed to the overall theme and composition.
The two shapes I choose form this blog entry.
3: Adding typography and text
For the final touch, I wanted to incorporate typography and random text. I asked ChatGPT to suggest two random Adobe fonts:
- Headline Font: Veneer
- Body Text Font: Acumin Pro
The topic I chose for the poster was dance, inspired by the dynamic and fluid character of the shapes, reminding me of dance movements. Here’s the final poster with text added:
Conclusion
The experiment demonstrated that randomness can bring a fresh perspective and unique aesthetic to design. The combination of random grids, colors, and shapes created interesting compositions, while the addition of text using randomly selected fonts added a layer of depth and meaning to the poster. The fluidity and unexpected results of these random elements demonstrated the creative possibilities that can happen when control is loosened and randomness is allowed.
