Generative Text

For this assignment, I wanted to explore more of generative text. After 3 different project ideas, I worked with a mirror image that displays motivational words in random order.

var adjectives = [
  "INDEPENDENT",
  "HUMBLE",
  "HAPPY",
  "AMBITIOUS",
  "DETERMINED",
  "DILIGENT",
  "RESILIENT",
  "CREATIVE",
  "PROGRESSIVE",
  "INNOVATIVE",
  "HARDWORKING",
  "SUCCESSFUL",
];

function preload() {
  photo = loadImage("mirror.jpg");
}

function setup() {
  createCanvas(360, 480);
  frameRate(1);
}

function draw() {
  background(220);
  image(photo, 0, 0);
  textFont("Magnolia", 18);
  fill("black");
  text("I AM", 165, 100);
  textFont("Magnolia", 14);
  fill("white");
  text(random(adjectives), 140, 340);
}

Reflection: it was relatively simple working with generative text. For future improvements, I would love to experiment generative art with text.
