Juxtapoze: Supporting Serendipity and Creative Expression in Clipart Compositions


Juxtapoze is a clip art composition workflow that supports creative expression and serendipitous discoveries in the shape domain. It achieves creative expression by supporting a workflow of searching, editing and composing: The user queries the shape database using strokes, selects the desired search result and, finally, modifies the selected image before composing it into the overall drawing. Juxtapoze facilitates serendipitous discovery of shapes by allowing multiple exploration channels, such as doodles, shape filtering and relaxed search. Results from a qualitative evaluation show that Juxtapoze makes the process of creating image compositions enjoyable and supports creative expression and serendipity.
