Experience
It was a fun experience for the most part, besides the fact that I gradually lost motivation and then got hit with a major burn out nearing the end of the final task. I feel like I have learned a lot from this module and hopefully did a good job.

Observation
I used to associate typography with text animations in video editing, and I was honestly a bit surprised to see that not many people see it that way? I guess it's because of the difference of media that I tend to consume

Findings
I realized that a lot of people burn out like I do. I remember checking the attendance sheets and I saw multiple students just straight up falling off the face of the earth after the eighth week or so, and even some students who almost never showed up in the first place. It's sort of comforting in a way? It reminds me that my classmates can sometimes go through the same things that I do and that I'm not alone in that.

Part of it's process involves describing and explaining a visual structure and recognize how a designer chooses to communicate their ideas and implement things in their design. It's an important part of developing one's visual literacy, as it trains your ability to read and critically interpret images. There are three main steps in visual analysis: To observe  by closely looking and identifying the visual elements in a design and describing them in your own words, preferably without prior information about the design beforehand. Observing a design without prior information will help you look, think, and find goo...
