PROJECTS

Group Project 1 - Kinetic Typography

In the group, we discussed a total of four more suitable songs, which are:
- Phineas and Ferb Theme Song
- I Like Me Better
- Miss Me
- As It Was

Figure 1.1 Music Poll Results

As the highest vote for the music is As It Was, then we proceed to the art direction discussion through Miro.

After Mr. Martin saw our video draft, he made some suggestions for us to make changes to produce better works for this project.

Figure 2.7 Made some changes on my part based on Mr. Martin's feedback

Figure 2.8 First attempt outcome

According to sir, the Introduction and Common Signs Pages should be similar to the whole animation style with others. So, I have to simplify the vector composition and also change the colour as well as the font to the original scheme.

Task for Final Project - Personal Burnout Experience

With the ongoing pandemic and new normal, there has definitely been a huge shift in all our lives, especially the concept of studying from home. Due to the lack of face-to-face teaching, I faced a lot of difficulties in my upcoming big exams. By the end of 2021, I had realised how constantly worn down and unmotivated I felt in several areas of my life. Even while my passion and lofty ambitions drive me to go to any lengths to get what I think I want, there is a sense of emptiness and a lack of purpose in all I do. From the outside, everything appears to be going well and I'm headed in the right direction, but on the inside, everything seems to be dark and hopeless, with no light at the end of the tunnel in sight. When I got exhausted, I started looking for food to momentarily escape the issue since I found momentary consolation in food. My eating habits and ongoing elevated stress levels contributed to my uncontrollable weight. But I was fortunate to find a wonderful buddy who supported me in my luminous circle as well as individuals in my personal life who I could turn to for aid.
