REFLECTION

Experience
Throughout this semester, I have thoroughly enjoyed these tasks. Before doing certain assignments, I was amazed by the work produced by seniors. However, when I started on the tasks myself, I pushed myself to achieve perfection and paid attention to every detail. With each completed task, I felt a sense of accomplishment, especially with the final project. I haven't procrastinated on any of these tasks. I particularly enjoyed Mr. Shamsul's classes the most. This module taught me how to analyze information and how to put together infographics, posters, and videos in a more effective manner.

Observation
I've observed that research and planning are extremely important in the design process. Starting with data sorting can prevent feeling overwhelmed. When you begin designing the poster, you can arrange and design based on the final draft, ensuring you stay on track and avoid making drastic changes to the entire poster.

Findings
I've found that creating infographics posters should prioritize clarity and making an impression at first sight. Infographics should be easy to understand and not overcrowded with words. While aesthetics are important, placing core data prominently is essential. Furthermore, I found that doing 2D animation could be tricky sometimes. For example, if I want to repeat a certain action, I have to ensure that the coordinates and timing remain constant throughout the frames. I have discovered that I can use "loopOut("cycle")" to command the repetition of the same action. However, when different movements are needed between the repetitions of the same action, this command may not be suitable.
