We present a system built to generate arrangements of three-dimensional models for aesthetic evaluation, with the aim to support an artist in their creative process. We explore how this system can automatically generate aesthetically pleasing content for use in the media and design industry, based on standards originally developed in master artworks. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our process in the context of paintings using a collection of images inspired by the work of the artist Giorgio Morandi (Bologna, 1890 -- 1964). Finally, we compare the results of our system with the results of a well-known Generative Adversarial Network (GAN).

We present the development process of Bioblox2.5D, an educational biology game aimed at teenagers. The game's content refers to protein docking and aims to improve learning about molecular shape complexity, the roles of charges in molecular docking and the scoring function to calculate binding affinity. We developed the game as part of a collaboration between the Computing Department at Goldsmiths, University of London, and the Structural Bioinformatics group at Imperial College London. The team at Imperial provided the content requirements and validated the technical solution adopted in the game. The team at Goldsmiths designed and implemented the content requirements into a fun and stimulating educational puzzle game that supports teaching and motivates students to engage with biology. We illustrate the game design choices, the compromises and solutions that we applied to accomplish the desired learning outcomes. This paper aims to illustrate useful insights and inspirations in the context of educational game development for biology students.
