I had a lot of fun with this project once I got the preliminaries set up. I started out thinking that I wanted to have an image recreated by pixilation when the mouse scrolled over the image. But then I realized that that wouldn’t work because of the constant mouse movement. So I decided to create a more fun portrait. The subject’s last name is displayed mainly opaque and then the picture is displayed with a spotlight on top of it. I spent a lot of time on this image but I still want to continue working on it.
