Algorithmic Snowflakes

Snowflakes are beautiful, but also quite mathematical. Through the act of coding in p5.js, the elements of math, art, design, and typography can unite into one dynamic and interactive digital piece that can also be made into prints. As various words are used as the input, the snowflakes can be generated using the mathematical and geometric patterns along the branches of each angle degree to allow for unique combinations of all the letters to form individual snowflakes. Using various additonal inputs such as density, diameter, and background color, the experience can be fully customizable, and no two snowflakes will be the same.
