Making Hundreds of Unique Mini Maker Faire Posters With Processing

MFBlogPost

We needed a poster for the Rhode Island Mini Maker Faire on Aug. 10, so I decided to use a Processing sketch to do the work for me. By using a generative program I could make each poster unique, within the design constraints of the event. The key is to use Processing’s PDF library to record a printable version of everything you’re drawing on the screen. When you’re done, you just bring the PDF to your local copy shop or fine art large format printer.

The complete set of posters and the code can be seen on the Modern Device blog.

    Well that should help people who have no knowledge in graphic design. And it’s all for free? Awesome.
