Crea filtros faciales con JavaScript

How to lead an image and video filter startup?

Technological innovation waits for no one. You are the new co-founder of our image and video filter startup, and you have the opportunity to take this project to the next level. In this Platzi lab, we will not provide you with step-by-step instruction, but challenges that you will have to overcome using your technical JavaScript skills and DOM manipulation knowledge. Get ready for a path full of adventures and continuous learning together with your guide, Jonathan Alvarez!

What does the basic prototype consist of?

We have already created a working prototype that has some basic filters. This prototype is the base on which you will work to improve and expand the functionalities of our application. This is where we start to hone your skills:

• Basic filters: You will find a couple of pre-existing filters that will help you understand how the system interacts with the visual elements.
• Development environment: JavaScript is used exclusively, mimicking vanilla JavaScript projects you might encounter in your career.

What are the challenges and goals?

As co-founder and technical director, your mission is not only to learn, but to apply your knowledge and think creatively to meet the challenges ahead:

1. Implement new filters: expand the catalog of filters that our application can offer, ensuring that they are attractive and effective.

2. Optimize performance: Improve code efficiency to make the application fast and agile, even when applying multiple filters or when processing videos.

3. Intuitive user interface: Redesign the interface to provide a simple and pleasant user experience, inviting users to explore and experiment with filters seamlessly.

How to apply your technical knowledge?

Related to the use of JavaScript and the DOM, here are key aspects you should consider to succeed in this lab:

• Manipulating the DOM: Make sure you understand how to interact with HTML and CSS elements by using JavaScript to modify and apply filters.
• Using Canvas: This is crucial for manipulating images and videos, allowing the application of complex and creative visual effects.

This challenge is not only a step forward for our startup, but for you as a professional. Every challenge you face will provide you with valuable learning, not only in technical terms, but in leadership and project management.

Go forward with confidence, motivation and an open mindset to learn and innovate - your creativity and technical skills are key to revolutionizing the way people interact with images and videos in our app!
