We have presented a novel approach to computationally design books. The presented system implements a generative design process which takes advantage of the scripting capabilities of Adobe InDesign to procedurally typeset books from content provided by the user. We have shown the ability of the system to create book designs that consistently comply with typographic rules and produce visually diversified and coherent books with different contents.
This work challenges typical roles of tools and designers by allowing automatic creation of design alternatives and development of custom tools, shifting designers from mere users to authors of tailored tools, fostering creativity and new possibilities.
