This project started off interesting, it was very open and I did not know where to start. Initally my idea was to make cute pastry faces, but it did not spark anything interesting after a few commits. I kept going with it in hopes that it will turn out how I wanted it to but it didn’t. I ended up changing my idea much too late into the project. However, I’m happy with the second idea I went with. It was easier to come up with ideas and I felt like I explored it better than the other.
This focus point in this project is the eyes that stare at you. Some blend into the background and stand out. Mixed together with the different mouth shapes it creates a creepy but assuming look. The chin and forehead change sizes which is the unexpected element I added in. I like how the face shapes turned out as it was something I struggled with the entire project. The way some of them get thin foreheads and chins rarely is funny element I decided to add in.
The arrangement was more interesting in a grid rather than not in a grid. I feel it works better with my idea and the way the heads tilt with the changing eyes and black background all fits together nicely. I added in some focus on certain mouths so that very rarely does it smile, but often it has the __ mouth or the 0.
Overall, this project was more off a challenge than I thought. Coming up with different faces and making it look interesting and appealing wasn’t a strong point in this project and something I need to work on. But in the end I like how it turned out. Although it doesn’t have all the elements I want, I am happy with the final result.
