LivingComputers+

A computer and technology museum located in Seattle, Washington. The museum’s goal is to provide a hands-on experience with vintage computers and technology, allowing visitors to interact with and learn about the history of computers.
I coded a tool in Processing that allowed me to create a dithered effect, replicating the visual style of old computer graphics. This approach not only pays homage to the technological history showcased by the museum but also bridges the gap between vintage computing aesthetics and modern design techniques.
This project includes two poster series for museum. The first promotes the museum and its exhibits, using vibrant colors and visuals inspired by early computer graphics to draw attention. The second series, focused on workshops and guest speaker events, features a heavily grid-based design influenced by breadboarding, emphasizing hands-on learning and creativity.
The patterns for the project are created using binary numbers that spell out "Living Computers." This approach ties directly to the foundational language of computing, blending technical precision with visual creativity.
The different patterns are fully utilized on the envelops, letterhead, tickets and museum map.
