Abstract
Today many graphic design works are created, distributed, and experienced through computational media. Furthermore, there is a culture of graphic designers taking computational approaches by building their own programs to go beyond the limitations that come with standard software. Yet, computational design is an under-researched topic in graphic design compared to its prevalence in architecture. Based on the reflections on my own computational graphic design practice and my interviews with graphic design researchers and practitioners in GRAPHIC 37 ’Introduction to Computation’, I discuss the opportunities and challenges when using computation as a graphic design medium for designing formation.
