Face Generator

Description

Sketch



Reflection

My first idea was to use the canvas as the face itself and have playful features that changed. I used simple shapes that I knew would be easy to recreate in p5 since I am still a beginner. I wanted to make it so the cursor moved the pupil but I could not figure that out while keeping it within the eye. So I decided to allow the pupil to change on mouse pressed. I also wanted to have the pupil, teeth, and background change to CMYK colors but could not figure that out either.

This project taught me how to get the essence of the elements I wanted to when my ability didn't allow me to do what I had originally planned. I had to adapt to learn the basics to scaffold my learning to complete the project to learn more. With my background in design, I have big ideas about what I want to create, but am not able to do so yet. Not overcomplicating the forms allowed me to learn more about what I could do in terms of function.
