Paragraphic is a tool for creating complex 2d vector designs, patterns and data-driven graphics using a modular design system.
Paragraphic is built with designers in mind, to allow creating parametric designs in a more familiar UI, without any coding and adopting conventions designers will be familiar with in other design tools.
The idea behind this is both to work as an introduction to designers who are new to this typ of design thinking, and to offer a more convenient tool for people experienced in this field.
To encourage experimentation it combines detailed control with allowing you to change any step in the process without needing to remove or undo later steps, giving you a real-time updated view of the end result. To fit into existing workflows you can just copy the result as SVG vector graphics and paste it into other software to continue working with the design.
Complex repetitions, gradients and patterns
Create and modify multi-level repetitions and patterns, applying flexible modifiers or randomization using a modular procedural design system.
Then just copy and paste the result as SVG vectors into your workflow.
Non-destructive randomization
Replace, reorder or transform repeated elements at random with full control to add interest to your design.
All non-destructive with updates in real time to encourage gradual testing and tweaking.
Custom vector halftones
Create halftones, raster patterns and advanced vector gradients based on images or any other layer data.
Parametric design
Automate design tasks, link properties and create data visualizations using custom parameters and connections to control your designs.
Core features
- Modular design system, using a sequence of nodes on each layer that can be freely combined to create, repeat and modify content elements on each layer.
- Non-destructive editing with real-time feedback, any property of any step in the generation sequence can easily be edited with the end result updated live.
- Parametric control and connections, for precise values, automatic relationships between properties and data-driven designs.
- Familiar layer-based editor, wrapping the parametric generative node sequence features in a traditional graphical editor interface similar to other vector graphics editors.
- SVG import and export, designed to work as a complement to your existing design tools, just copy & paste between them as SVG.
