The short workshops tries to offer the participants an alternative starting point for creating books in Adobe Indesign with a computational design approach. During the crash course style workshop participants will gain basic knowledge to intervene, adjust and re-write their own ‘tools’ using the Basil.js. Basil.js is a port of the Processing language to Adobe Indesign (in Javascript), developed by the Basel School of Design and Benedikt Groß.

Requirements:

* own laptop with Indesign CS6 or newer
