So I’ve been brainstorming for a bit and have some pretty solid ideas for the different sketches for this project.
For the sketch meant to have an interaction with the mouse or keyboard I was thinking of having a simple background that starts more or less blank. Maybe a basic green texture to prevent it from being too bland at the start. The idea would be that clicking anywhere on the canvas would create a small image of a tree, or random size, and a random shade of green.
For the animated sketch I was considering a changing tree. Either a tree changing appearance as it would through the seasons, or possibly a tree growing to full size and then slowly dying away. The idea would basically be to follow the life-cycle of a tree.
Another idea I had revolved around an overhead view of a butterfly with wings that had changing patters. The wings would have patters that changed over-time or in reaction to the mouse’s position. This idea is still very rough and needs some refining, but the other two ideas I’m pretty confident in how they could turn out.
