This workshop was intended to introduce graphic designers to a completely different paradigm (the command-line) than the one they are usually used to (the graphical user interface, or even processing and other drawbots) and see how pieces of design can be produced by a set of commands and filters chained together. Using basic programs available by default both on OSX and GNU\/Linux systems we&#8217;ve put in action some of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Unix_philosophy\">Unix philosophy<\/a> principles such as &#8220;Make each program do one thing well&#8221; or &#8220;Make every program a filter&#8221;, from text concatenation to PDF generation.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the recipes and the results of the 2nd workshop session `please computer |\u00a0make me design`, or how to design posters using only the command line <a href=\"http:\/\/ospublish.constantvzw.org\/works\/index.php?\/projects\/pc--mmd\/\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\nFeel free to download the working packages and try out for yourself.<br \/>\nOn Mac OS, all the commands are already available, on Linux, you would need to install `enscript`.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to Hong Phuc, Frederik, Eric, Adrien, F\u00e9lix, Julien for the great posters they&#8217;ve produced, and to Pierre M. and Wendy for their help setting up the session!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ospublish.constantvzw.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/osp_out.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/ospublish.constantvzw.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/osp_out-282x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"command line poster by OSP\" width=\"282\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4577\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ospublish.constantvzw.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/frederik_out.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/ospublish.constantvzw.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/frederik_out-400x282.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"command line poster by Frederik de Bleser\" width=\"400\" height=\"282\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4578\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ospublish.constantvzw.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/frederik_out-400x282.png 400w, http:\/\/ospublish.constantvzw.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/frederik_out-100x70.png 100w, http:\/\/ospublish.constantvzw.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/frederik_out-1024x723.png 1024w, http:\/\/ospublish.constantvzw.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/frederik_out.png 1684w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LG-school\u00a0\u2014 the LGM appetizer \u2014 has been the occasion for us (Ivan, Ludi, Steph and Alex) to give a second workshop on fun command-line poster generation.
