For this project, I was inspired by the fireflies I saw in my backyard. The tiny firefly adds up every second, pink block adds up every hour, and the firefly in the middle rotates every minute. From last week to this week, my biggest challenge had been understanding “arrays” and “loops”. Through this project, I could understand these concepts better, and I had fun exploring different styles, color, and movements of the parts of the project.

I did a quick sketch before going into Illustrator.
Drawing on Illustrator helps me visualize more clearly.
