The paper proposes a new approach to graphic design with the use of computer animation. The class of designs considered are periodic patterns. First, the characterization of rosettes, borders and periodic planar designs is given. Then, a generative system which produces a great variety of periodic designs is equipped with animation. As in-between animation frames ensure the continuity and fluidity of pattern movement, a dynamic continuous design space is obtained. The changes in pattern symmetry groups which result from the use of animation are described. The role of animation in supporting perception of the emergent shapes in the generated patterns is also mentioned. The paper is illustrated by periodic designs produced by the DARTAN animated generative system.
