I often hear people say they want to try generative art but don’t know where to start. In this issue, I will introduce 3 introductory books on Processing, the easiest to understand method of creating generative art.

Creating graphics in Processing, p5js, etc., requires not only code skills but also graphic knowledge. This book is a basic on grid systems by Josef Müller-Brockmannn, a renowned Swiss graphic designer and educator.

I always recommend this book, whenever I am asked by a beginner, “How do you make your work?”. The book includes high-quality examples of generative art.
