Calligram

Image
 This project was extremely difficult for me. No matter how many things I changed, I never felt like the calligram looked like me. I am still proud of my project and think it looks cool, it just doesn't really look like me. Here is the original photo:  For this project, we were also asked to write a letter to ourselves in 20 years. This is what I wrote: Dear 38-year-old Sydney,  You’re almost 40… ew. The fact that a 40-year-old version of myself will one day exist may or may not have triggered a 30-minute panic attack anticipating the first gray hair I find or the first wrinkle on my face.

As a freshman in college, I was hoping that creating this dolphin would manifest that I too adapt to my changing environment with the same grace and diligence. This project was difficult because of the amount of bezier and quadratic curves. Luckily, patience is one of my best qualities, but I do have to admit that I cried on three separate occasions while completing my project: once while creating the bottom water splashes, and twice while adding color and attempting to give my dolphin volume.  Below I will include a picture of my final project, the reference image, and the code used to create it:  <!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title> dolphin </title> <!-- import external .js scripts here --> <!-- <script...
