Elena Deng – Project 9 Portrait

sketch
This project was fun because we were able to add aspects of our daily life and apply it to the code. I decided to use a photo of my friend and I together. I used the words “wow” and “cute” to describe us & the photo. If you scroll over the image, you will see little ellipses forming on the photo, reflecting the colors of the underlying image.

var underlyingImage;

function preload() {
    var fallImage = "https://i.imgur.com/pUlrsst.jpg";
    underlyingImage = loadImage(fallImage);
}

function setup() {
    createCanvas(500, 500);
    background(0);
    underlyingImage.loadPixels();
    frameRate(10);
}

function draw() {
    var posX = random(width);
    var posY = random(height);
    var ix = constrain(floor(posX), 0, width-1);
    var iy = constrain(floor(posY), 0, height-1);
    var theColorAtLocationXY = underlyingImage.get(ix, iy);

    noStroke();
    fill(theColorAtLocationXY);
    text("wow",posX, posY, 200);
    text("cute",posX * random(-1,5), posX * random(-3,5), 200);

    var theColorAtTheMouse = underlyingImage.get(mouseX, mouseY);
    fill(theColorAtTheMouse);
    ellipse(pmouseX, pmouseY, 10, 6);
