Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll use p5.js to animate still photos or artwork. You’ll start by animating simple object images with interaction techniques, then animate landscape photos using layers and transparency. Finally, you’ll extend these techniques to creative drawing on images.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
