I definitely enjoyed putting this project together and playing around with different elements, which forced me to figure out how to draw more complex forms using p5.js. Before trying to code this right away, I made different possible mockups in Adobe Illustrator, then translated it into Javascript. As for the final result, I’m happy with how it came out – my initial sketches had even more accent dots than the final, but it wound up looking too busy and were therefore removed.
