Project 3: City Clock

Exercise 5

Using both text and numerical arrays, I built an animated architecture series blending cathedrals, torii gates, LEGO bricks, alien fonts, and even car brands. It’s a homage to structure, identity, and a few childhood obsessions.

Final Project 3

This clock animates the day with 60 custom building PNGs representing minutes, shifting skies, and a rotating sun/moon for hours. Thematically, it reflects my routine—coded with time-based interactivity and helped along by a few AI suggestions.
