I used the last homework as a template since I couldn’t figure out a way to start from the scratch. I put the face shape, ears(the size and the placement), eye size, eyebrows and mouth as a variable. The mouth and eye placement is not random but is calculated every time and is placed relative to the face and the chin. The face colour is also random on a very small scale, since I wanted to keep the colour close to peach colour

color faceColor = color(200,200,200);

The source of all Miss Americas!

I was unable to convert it to p5.js. It would have been better to click yourself to generate a Miss America. This was put together with a lot of brute force coding, I used the random function for every variable. Some of the random numbers were randomly choosing a type of object or string to put (like the type of bangs, or the names) and the other way I used random numbers were to change the size of something (like the slight change in the shape of the eyes, or the hair length)

Face Changer

This was the assignment I decided to start out with. It was quite a challenge and more of an experience/ experimental piece. Fun fact: I figured out how to randomize the color on my own before we were taught it in class. so, that was a very proud accomplishment of mine, which is kind of sad. My second modification was adding a mouth to the example face. For this used a triangle to stick to the simple geometric shape aesthetic. I then continued to have the mouth shape randomize. My third modification was adding pupils and getting the position of the eye and pupils to move with ever frame.

float eyeSize = 20; 
float eyePlace = height/2;
float faceWidth = 100; 
float faceHeight = 120; 
float mouthWidth = 50;
float mouthHeight = 200;

For the face generator project, I decided to create a program that generates finches, based off of the beak permutations found in Darwin’s finches of the Galapagos Islands (see images below). I pretty much eyeballed the parameters for the finches’ basic beak shapes, but I think this project would be worth revisiting with accurate mathematical data reflecting each beak’s dimensions. With regards to my completed program, I’d like to find a way to make the curvature of the beak less prominent in the smaller beak permutations.
