Today I worked on:

Improving my “Breakfast is Served” project by cleaning up the layout and trying to make the food items more recognizable.

What I focused on:

• Replaced the older sausage shape with arched arcs to better resemble sausage links.
• Tweaked the fried egg design, adding a subtle outline around the egg white so it wouldn’t blend into the plate.
• Added strawberry jelly on the left toast slice to give the breakfast some pop and color contrast.

Reflections:

I’m honestly not totally happy with how it turned out, but that’s okay. I’m learning how to use these shapes creatively and I know with more practice I’ll get better at visually communicating ideas through code. The composition feels balanced, and the colors work together better than before.

What I learned:

• Using arc() with HALF_PI and PI + HALF_PI helped create natural sausage curves.
• Adding soft outlines (stroke() + light color) can help delicate elements like egg whites stand out without being harsh.
• Visual tweaking is part of the coding process—numbers aren’t always perfect on the first try.
