Creative Code jellemzők

Few digital designers or artists have had the long-term international impact of John Maeda. His work in print and digital design has influenced an entire generation.
Maeda's role as an educator is perhaps even more influential than his design projects. For seven years he and his students in the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Lab have created some of the most digitally sophisticated and exciting pieces of design to emerge anywhere, with several of the group#s members graduating to international acclaim. Little of this intensive research and ground-breaking work, however, has been seen outside the laboratory.
Creative Code presents the most fascinating work produced by the group, arranged into themes that apply to today's most pertinent design issues: information visualization, digital typography, abstraction, interaction design and education. Each section features brief essays by leading names in the field of interaction and digital design - Casey Reas, David Small, Joshua Davis, Yugo Nakamura and Gillian Crampton Smith.
This rich compilation, by some of the most inventive minds working in this ever-expanding field, offers a blueprint for the humane integration of digital design in our culture and lives.
