Submit Assignment

Choose a short piece of text in your preferred language. It can be a poem, a quote, an excerpt from your diary, or any other form of writing. The text should be personal, poetic, or culturally meaningful to you, serving as a manifesto or statement that reflects your values and beliefs.

Collect visual and material inspirations (typography, print experiments, manifestos), and try to recreate them in p5.js Editor! When in doubt, look them up in the p5 reference or ask for help in google chat.

Document what's working and what's not working and submit these findings along with the assignment.
