Chance Project Instructions

Step 1. First, create a new file in Photoshop or a similar program.  Even a simple one such as MSpaint should work.  The page should be a square, and preferably large.

Step 2: Mentally separate the image into quadrants, numbered one through four like this:

Step 3: Using a random number generator, get 15 random numbers with a range of 1-255.

Step 4: Arrange these random numbers in groups of three, so you will have five groups total.  These will be later used as values on the RGB scale to get five random colors like so.  Use the first random number as the background for your image. 


Step 5: Use the random number generator again to produce four random numbers, ranges 1-4.  These are the quadrants in which you will be drawing.

Step 6: Draw four objects, a square, circle, triangle, and a face in that order.  The shapes should be drawn using the random colors you got in step 4, excluding the first set because that is your background.  You will assign these images to the quadrants you rolled in the previous step.  For instance, if you got 4, 4, 1, 2, both the square and circle will be drawn in quadrant 4, the triangle in quadrant 1, and the face in quadrant 2.

Step 7: Enjoy your randomly generated result.  Here is mine.

And here is another of mine, using different random inputs.

Also this is my creation using Gabe's instructions for the project, which can be found here.
