bookAutomating Repetitive Tasks

Automation is a powerful tool for creators and makers, especially when dealing with repetitive tasks that can slow down your creative process. In many creative workflows, you often face situations where you need to generate a series of similar filenames for assets, create patterned design elements, or organize resources systematically. Manually handling these repetitive tasks can be time-consuming and error-prone. Python helps you automate such chores efficiently, freeing up more time for the creative aspects of your projects.

# Generate patterned filenames for design elements for i in range(1, 6): filename = f"element_{i}.svg" print(filename)
copy

Let’s break down how this code automates the creation of patterned names. The for loop repeats the block of code inside it for each value of i from 1 to 5. On each iteration, filename is assigned a new string that combines the word "element_" with the current number, followed by ".svg". The f before the string starts a formatted string, so you can insert the value of i directly into the text. This approach means you don’t have to type each name by hand—Python does the repetitive work for you.

# Create a list of hex color codes for a palette using list comprehension color_codes = [f"#FF{str(i).zfill(2)}00" for i in range(0, 100, 20)] print(color_codes)
copy
