ashleyc1-Section C-Final Project

RULES:

-Use the mouse (either by pressing or moving around) to interact with animations

-Click any key to cycle through different animations (click within the canvas first if not working because wordpress is weird)

Note: If file is opened through google browser, mouse isn’t limited on first animation and they all generally run smoother

For this project, I was interested in creating interactive animations that allowed type to be dynamic. I wanted the user to interact with the text based on the actions the words described (erase = erase the words). This project was super challenging and I wish I had more time to generate more interactive animations but I’m overall satisfied with it because I like exploring how to make type more dynamic that I can now use within my own art and design practice.
