Time based design system

A generative design system written in Processing.
The design system is a real time "screensaver" meant to be used as a decorative branding element on e.g. video walls or flat-screen TVs.

The system is based around time and the fact that it is ever changing.
The watch hands starts at the viewer's current time and ends in a specified time (e.g. hooked up to an office calendar, or as an primitive countdown timer).
The system has two components: a viewer, and an art direction tool.

The art direction tool is for creating new clocks or editing existing clocks. 
You load in a image adjust the watchfaces different sizes, and spacing, and hit save.
The viewer application then loads clocks created by the art direction tool and automagically adjust the watch faces to the correct time and colorizes it according the viewer's selected color scheme.

That means you only have to create the clocks once, have the computer do the boring versioning work for you.
