I want to start growing a following on twitter to sell NFTs. I think an alphabet bestiary would keep me to a consistent goal that includes daily tweet content (each animal). I also think this is a conceptually accessible project. I would learn about different algorithms to produce each animal. It&#8217;ll be a bit tough to keep the project visually cohesive while using different algorithms. Generative algorithms typically have a distinct visual feel. I think my main focus for this would be generative pattern algos. For the final I&#8217;ll probably have an incomplete bestiary of a couple letters.<\/li>\n<li>(Lingdong already made something similar I might scrap this)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Idea #3 Embroidery<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>thinking about free standing lace like this<\/li>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1879\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-03-at-4.44.58-AM-508x480.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"204\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-03-at-4.44.58-AM-508x480.png 508w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-03-at-4.44.58-AM-1024x968.png 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-03-at-4.44.58-AM-768x726.png 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-03-at-4.44.58-AM.png 1052w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 204px) 85vw, 204px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>and using this style in creating dragonfly wings.
