Full Article:

This paper will discuss the advent of programming and the creation of software as a methodology in graphic design. This will be achieved through the exploration of three main areas of interest: the history of these practices, the tools, methodologies and concepts necessary to understand this type of work, and a critical examination of current work related to this field.
