What is the Evolutionary Poster Composer?

The Evolutionary Poster Composer (evo-poster) is a computational design system for the automatic generation of poster designs based on a Genetic Algorithm.

This way, the purposed system computationally emulates the workflow of traditional letterpress printhouses in the 19th century. This working process of these printhouses was slightly different from the typical contemporary Graphic Design processes. At the time, letterpress designers created posters while trying to fill a matrix, often in collaboration with the client. The design decisions of these designers were very pragmatic: extensive sentences were composed in condensed typefaces, and short sentences were composed in extended typefaces. Also, the most important parts of the content were emphasized.

What is evo-poster for?

Evo-poster is designed to enable the autonomous generation of poster design with both with exploratory and automation purposes. The following users' stories clarifies typical uses of the system:
