View the p5 Sketch here

This week I added to last week’s sketch of my logo. I used the YPos Value to have the triangle scroll up continuously in the background with the draw function. I essentially moved the whole sketch to the draw function just to keep the layering in proper sequence.

I used MouseX and MouseY to have the color of my beanie change as the mouse moves, and I added the alpha function to the top half of the beanie to have a slight transparency, I think it helps make the movement of the triangle look more pleasing.

I wanted to have both of my eyebrows moving up and down, but I couldn’t figure out how to do that. I tried translate with a push & pop to isolate all of the curve vertexes for the eyebrows, but I couldn’t get that to work. I ended up using a random array for just one eyebrow, but that produced a twitchy kind of feel which wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. I would love to learn to how to make the eyebrows smoothly move up and down on a loop.

If I knew more p5, I think that instead of having the triangle scroll, I would like to have it constantly generating from the middle and growing out of the frame from there.
