I suggest adding a set of randomization tools within Adobe Forms (or across Adobe’s design tools, if applicable). These tools would be invaluable for designers and educators who wish to add variability, visual interest, or procedural generation to their designs without manually adjusting each element.
Suggested Features:
1. Random Color Assignment
Apply random colors (within a selected palette or defined range) to multiple shapes or elements simultaneously.
2. Random Rotation
Automatically assign random rotation angles to selected objects within a specific range (e.g., 0° to 360°) or by specified increments (e.g., multiples of 15°).
3. Random Scaling/Sizing
Scale selected shapes or objects to random sizes within defined minimum and maximum values, which are useful for dynamic layouts or teaching scale concepts.
4. Random Point Selection on Shapes
For shapes like stars, polygons, or custom paths, allow selection of random points or vertices for animation, distortion, or other creative effects.
5. Random Distance from a Point
Distribute selected objects at varying distances from a central point, optionally with constraints such as maintaining radial symmetry or within a circular boundary.
Use Cases:
Educational design tools where students learn through exploration and variation.
Graphic designers create procedural or generative art.
UX/UI designers are mocking up randomized interface states.
Data visualization where variance enhances meaning or aesthetics.
- Having to recolor a mosaic, and not having to change each individual color.
These randomization options could be implemented through a panel, scriptable command, or part of an existing tool’s extended options. Providing randomness with control (e.g., seeding, bounding values, preview options) would maximize usefulness while maintaining creative direction.
Thank you for considering this idea. These features would empower both novice and expert users to create more dynamic, engaging, and efficient designs.
