Day 78:

This was done with the same code foundation that I made day 77 with here . I thought the previous result was too all over the place, so I simplified all the extra shapes, and kept the occasional circle in the center of some squares. Then, instead of a single version of the square pattern, I made a copy of each square with a slight offset.
There’s also a cool parallax effect created with the offset, where it looks both moving up to the top right, or bottom left corner.

The third day with the circle/polygon generator. Kinda ran out of steam at this point, but changed the shape of the polygon a bit and offset the circle to the top left corner. The one all the way on the right looked a bit like flowers, so I just went with that.

Today was Thanksgiving, and I was absolutely stuck on ideas. I found this p5 Pattern Library, via someone else’s Twitter design. I included it in my sketch and eventually decided on the Hexagon generator after getting the hang of how the pattern functions worked.
To introduce a little bit of variability I had each shape rotate within a certain negative and positive range which ended up creating that popping out effect.

A random sketch that started off with Circle Packing, and ended up with something super cool looking! The circles sort of look like concrete pillars, and the lines are like graffiti.
The scribble lines were the same outlines of the circles generated below them, but just super stretched in the y-direction to form ovals.

I didn’t really go into today with a plan, I was just messing around with the seaweed generator from before, and changed the values for how close each new curve would be drawn (along the x-axis). On top of that, I multiplied the noise value by a much bigger value than before, so the curves would look super squiggly.
To get the blurry effect, I drew a second set of curves that was just slightly offset from the original, and changed the stroke color to something lighter.

I was short on time today with trying to travel back to the city after the break, so I ended up creating the designs for today yesterday and kept it simple. I was sticking with the same “seaweed” generator that I’ve used a few times now (including yesterday), and just overlaid rectangles with the same fill as the background on top of the squiggles.

This sketch had a healthy dose of luck thrown in. The end result did not match what I thought would happen at all, and I’m still not quite sure what’s going on, but the output is cool!
Basically, I found this sketch once again from Gorillasun, where circular shapes would be generated by smaller dots with varying radius sizes.
I couldn’t really come up with a good idea with that alone, so I decided to throw it into a grid and see what I could do from there. The grid code, initially came from gorillasun as well, but I’d modified it before around three times now. This was probably why the output ended up not being what I expected, and I’m thinking it has something to do with how the X and Y coordinates are generated.
The output looks like a Jackson Pollack painting though with the splatter effect!
