Re: Python design project
Hi Josh, Thank you for replying my message, sorry for the late reply, i was ill for two days.. I thought about the things you said, and think that it would be interesting, if fonts hit eachother the fonts would be merging. stuck together. so in a kind of way you create 'a new font' . I think the mutate part works also in that, by mutating, you can also create a new form family'. But I think that the fonts must not unrecognizable mutate. the reproducing thing would be nice, so you also get the 'families' like family of a, family of b... and so on... I think that the family must remain at each other presence, stuck together, and when a touches b you get a new form and family. 2 think that all the things could transform, except for the serifs, kerning. 3 does flash work with vector? flash is pixel based isn't? what doe you think about the project, i'm verry interesting in more things oppinions. do you think that the designer creates the final work here, because of the programming or do you think that the fonts of the computer does it?

Re: Python design project
I think I need to explain the things better I think, so I do; First answering the questions above; I think i have to explain the project more. With type I mean; typography/fonts/characters.. For my final exam I created the idea to treath fonts as a living organisms. There for I want to create with the help of somebody, a little program were i can import vector based fonts, and when they are imported they turn alive By turn alive I mean; they move random over the work area, opacity changing, changing of size/color, merge together ans some more things, little fonts changing. Because my python skills are zero, I'm looking for a partner which can help me. I'm working On mac, but windows is not a problem. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Python design project
Hi Solrick, This sounds like some interesting stuff. I'd love to discuss it some more with you and maybe work with you on it. Some things to think about: 1. Rules for Font interactions. What happens when fonts 'hit' each other, or 'live' long enough to reproduce andmutate maybe? 2. What parts of the fonts can change. height, width, scale, kerning, serifs, color, transparency, etc 3. Python may not be the best environment for this application. Flash might be alot faster to get something going in as its designed for animating vectors and has a solid programming language behind it to write in your rules logic.

(Indeed, what do you mean by type here?) Given the phrases python and graphic design in the same post I can think of at least two definitions of type that are relevant, and not sure how you'd view either as self-generating :-) Curiously, Michael. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Python design project
Dear community, I dont really know if this is the right way to do, otherwise my excuses for that. I'm a Dutch student, and graduating this year on my graphic design study. For my graduating study, I want to do some Python work and i'm lokking for a partner wich can help/ cooperate me in programming python. The project In short: The project subject is type, and i want to create a self generating type. I hope there are some interests, otherwist, thank you all.. Bye..
