It's a short conference video from Tim Holman, where he breaks down the "toolbox" you need. He shows lines, curves, randomness, repetition etc, and how you combine these simple concepts to make something cool. After that short video you basically have what you need to start experimenting.

I'm looking for resources on this too. I recently started working through this book [1], which might be a good place to start. In the introduction to that, the author also mentions this site [2] and this book [3].
