Creative Coding - Week 5 - Functions, Classes and Typography

Coding tutorials for Danne Woo’s Creative Coding class at Queens College, CUNY. This video tutorial focuses on creating your own custom functions and touches on what classes are and how they are similar to functions. We also look at typography and how we can get type into our p5js sketches. We also take it a step further and talk about how we can design our own letterforms using code specifically looking at rule-based type design and outline based type design.
