Generative Typography is a graphic design course at the intersection of computation and typography. Students will participate in a project based class where we will use Javascript and the creative coding library p5.js to explore generative techniques and apply them to typographic systems. We will explore various areas of thinking from basic form making to generating typographic systems that are dynamic and unique. By the end of the course students will be familiar with creating compositions using code.
Beginner knowledge of Javascript is encouraged, although it is not required and we won’t make too many assumptions about prior programming skills or background in the course.
This class meets for 10 consecutive weeks. Class size is limited to 14 students to allow for individual feedback. Registration opens September 7. Please join our mailing list for updates and reminders about upcoming programs, classes and free lectures.

Romello Goodman
Romello Goodman is a DC-based Designer who specializes in applying computational techniques to web technologies and printmaking. He is a Design Technologist at Block working on their Brand and Purpose team and an Adjunct Faculty member in the Graphic Design department at MICA.
As a technologist, I examine the computer’s role in the creative process through the practice of printmaking. Through the introduction of computational and generative techniques, I create ways of imbuing individuality and specificity into each graphic.
