Notes on the experiment

From an idea
to a useful thing.

01 / The starting point

Golden Grid Generator started as a way into Swiss and deconstructionist grid-based design, with Felipe Pantone’s graphic work as a visual point of departure. The idea was to generate a structure, adjust its complexity, and see where the composition could go.

02 / In practice

Use the result as a framework to hang a design on, or let the grid become the artwork itself. Keep the generated colors, remove selected colors, or use the black and white regions as light and dark masking areas. Adjust the parameters to explore different compositions, then export an SVG or PDF to continue working with the result.
