Algorithm / Cover Design
The cover was created using an algorithm that draws from a set of 18 modules. By changing color, position and rotation, the algorithm generated more than 34,500 unique permutations that form the letter A.
Processing was used to generate the algorithm, HP Indigo SmartStream Designer was the final software used to deploy the algorithm for final printing.
