This is a breakdown of the motion design system created for my personal portfolio.
The scrambling of glyphs is systematically decided by matching their advanced width. This means that, for example, a letter A can only be replaced with a letter V since their advance width is both 421. Glyphs like W and I cannot be scrambled because their width is not found in any other character in the alphabet.
The Glyph Width toggle at the bottom can turn this rule on and off so you can see why this rule is important for a visually correct result.
I have been working on a prototype that I call the “component randomizer”. This tool attempts to create as many layouts as possible while still working within constraints and rules.
The design of randomized elements states that any variation of information can be reordered and restructured under certain conditions that mirror that variation.
