Design Process

I used one of the references from the glitch assignment page to create the instafilter. I changed the blue values to help the color stand out. The last two are from additional tutorials from Xin. I tried to put my own spin on them. For the pixelator, I added the filter(INVERT) function and the pointillist I wanted to make that function behave like draw. My intention was to have the user click the 'Pointillist' button once and the dots fill in by themselves. I tried using loop();however, I could not get this to work. I contacted DT Study and I still am looking for a solution. Next, I created a function to take a picture. The main issue I have with this function is that I cannot choose the name of the image so I have to manually change the name of each one. I also asked DT Study about this. My biggest functional feature are my buttons. I thought that it would be nice to have different filters for the user to choose from and be able to switch at the click of a button.
*For some reason the camera does not turn on when the program starts but the filters still work. I made some changes to the program after working with Elena on the Consentful Interface assignment.

Reflection

I am mostly satisfied with this project. I had some doubts about my capability and making sure my buttons were functional. As always I persisted and was mostly successful. I will try to have my more confidence in my coding abilities in the future.
