Patter design

Program approached design as a constructed set of instructions rather than intuitive composition. I developed rule-based systems to generate posters using discarded packaging collected from garbage bins.

Each composition began with defined constraints: how objects were photographed, isolated, duplicated, rotated, scaled, and arranged. Rotation increments, grid divisions, layer hierarchies, saturation controls, and pattern generation were predetermined. Variation emerged from parameters, not preference.

Poster 1 operates through sectional grids and incremental rotation. Poster 2 constructs dense pattern fields from cut typographic fragments and packaging strips. Poster 3 explores circular duplication and kaleidoscopic growth. Poster 4 extends the system further  images are pixelated through Processing, divided into grids, and reconstructed with typographic overlays derived from synonyms of “garbage.”

The instruction sets are integral to the work. They formalize decision-making and reposition the designer as a systems-builder rather than a stylist. The posters are visible outcomes, but the system itself is the primary composition.
