print-generator.app

  • Screen recording of the print-generator app interface demonstrating user-driven design processes for creating T-shirt prints. The video highlights layout selection, parameter adjustments, and real-time preview of personalized print designs.
  • Diagram showing variable parameter options in the print-generator tool with 'grid mode' and 'random mode' layouts, displayed on T-shirt mockups with different arrangements of picture blocks and the phrase 'Good morning/evening world.'
  • Diagram of print-generator tool showing 'default folders' and 'more folders' modes for user-selected content like pictures and words, displayed on T-shirts with custom designs labeled 'Always searching.'
  • Diagram showing the workflow for the print-generator tool, including inputs like the picture, word, settings, and instructions, leading to a final 'print-generator' output, which creates personalized graphic compositions.
  • Diagram illustrating fixed and variable parameters feeding into rules and strategies within the print-generator tool, culminating in a final T-shirt graphic print based on user-defined layouts and design choices.

about:

print-generator was a tool for creating a personalized graphic motif/composition (for clothing)*, where the user himself supplied the basic parameters (image/text). The tool’s result was a graphic print, the final form of which depended on the cooperation of the tool with the user. It worked (only in its beta version) from 2020 to 2023.

print-generator could become a public tool/service for users to edit their supplied content. The user would set a specific medium/layout and the basic parameters of the final design.

*T-shirt was the only medium supported by the tool so far.

In this project, we attempted to find an alternative way to perceive a print (graphic motif) on clothing, transforming it into an individual’s legacy. Specifically, it was an attempt to provide a public tool to help people create their prints. The collaboration of the tool and the user has become a fundamental condition for changing the standard way of “identifying” the user with existing prints/images - breaking out of the current practices of “exclusive” and “unique” pictures that someone else creates for us, where the user stands at the very end of the process and thus fulfills the simple function of “just a consumer.”

On a general scale, the print-generator was intended to serve the public as a supplemental tool to finalize and realize their ideas. It aimed to relieve users of the privilege of knowing the rules of how to design their content. The tool should create a final graphic design based on the formatting and parameters set by the user. Thus, the user could concentrate on the essential part of the process, i.e., editing the content and concept of their idea.
