To start this project, I thought about what parts of a face can affect the appearance of it obviously. I came up with the size of the face, size of eyes, shapes of eyebrows and the shape of the mouth. Therefore, I set up different variables for these different part to be changed. Later, I realized the color of skin is also a good point, and I also made it changeable. For the background, I wanted to do something different, I wanted to make it changeable too. I found the function of lerpcolor() in reference, and I thought it would be a fun to make a background that generates gradual colors randomly.
