Coursera - Programming for Designers Specialization

 

Course details

Develop a foundation in Computational Design. Explore Creative Coding with Python

 

What you'll learn

- Learn the fundamentals of Python programming, including essential coding techniques
- Engage in computational design thinking to approach design problems with a mindset that leverages computational strategy and problem-solving
- Understand how to develop custom algorithms that can generate a range of design solutions against complex requirements, constraints, and objectives
- Demonstrate the application of computational methods in design-related disciplines using a variety of computational tools

 

Specialization - 3 course series

In Programming for Designers, you will explore Python programming within a creative context, equipping you with essential computational design skills. Beginning with fundamental programming principles, you will move on to more intricate data structures, leading to the development of practical creative coding projects. Learn how to use the Processing platform, a program that allows designers to create visual, interactive media to meet their project needs. Develop the skills to move from simple to intricate designs, ranging from illustrative shapes and images to animations. Cover procedural best practices for design applications and intelligence navigation, and build a rich understanding of how advanced data structures can be used to create digital environments.

 

This course series is tailored for individuals within architecture, graphic design, industrial design, game design and the visual arts interested in integrating programming with graphic creativity. As each course in the series is structured to build on previous course knowledge, Programming for Designers allows you to practice your skills within Python, allowing you to bring your design concepts to life with precision and efficiency.    

 

Applied Learning Project

Participants will create graphic applications in Python through the Processing environment. Access to a comprehensive series of design examples tailored for the course is provided, along with instructions to build each from the ground up. This approach covers essential principles and leads to the development of personalized creative applications.
