From last time…

• Explored filters, blend modes, and masks!

• Wrapped up PImage, Capture, and Movie

Iteration 3 & Final• Your final project is 15% of your grade!

• Judged independently of your iterations on the following aspects:!

1. Visceral: how does it look and feel? Polished, professional, pleasant?!

2. Functional: is the code clean? Are there bugs, or does it run smoothly?!

3. Reflective: is it fun? Does it give me information? Is it interesting and does it make me think?

Setting Attributes

textSize() // sets the size

textAlign() // sets the alignment

.textAscent() // returns ascender height

.textDescent() // returns descender height
