When I tried to draw bangs, I needed to rotate an ellipse. However, when I used “rotate() ”on lines 82 & 86, every shape in the face rotated as well. To solve this problem, I moved the code for the bangs to the end. Is there a more convenient way to rotate only one shape at a time?

💻 How computation applies to my interest

My undergrad major is illustration, almost most of my work are static. Once, I have got a part time job which require me to finish a series of illustrations about the history of dumplings. However, when I brought these illustrations to the food exhibition, I noticed that very few people stopped to look at them. In contrast, most of the crowd was drawn to the interactive new media displays nearby. At that moment, I realized that to let people truly engage and feel the meaning, the medium must move and allow interaction so that stories can be experienced.

In this semester, I would like to do a project about the relationship between food and media, similar to how a movie and popcorn can become part of the same experience. I want to explore whether interactive media can similarly enhance the experience of eating, rather than distract us from it. I want to combine my background in visual storytelling with coding to create interactive experiences around food.
