LECTURE

Week 1
Public Holiday. Mr Razif briefed us about the module.

Week 2
For our first project, we have to create a UI for a mobile application that can make payment. Mr Razif encouraged us to do a topic or brand that can cover the mobile app, filter and website. I started to think of some brands and topics, and I decided to rework my Cake brand from the Brand Corporate Identity project "Okek".

Week 3
We learned about the basics to create a new project in Adobe Animate and some useful techniques to create motion and morphing effects.

Idea 1: Tote Bag Store

My first idea was to build a tote customisation app, however due to time limitation I was not able to build a complete the brand profile. Therefore I decided to go with Idea 2.

Idea 2: Cake Store

Continue OKEK brand that I did for my brand corporate identity module, I decided to create an app for this brand. I decided to go with second idea.

FEEDBACK
Mr Razif looked at my draft interface design for tote app, he advised me to reduce the button and image size to include more breathing space. I need improve on the aesthetics complete the transaction pages. For Okek app, looks fine overall. Can add animation to make it interesting. The greeting card page can remove.


REFLECTION

Experience: This module looks stressful as I have never used Animate before, it took me quite some time to digest the information and make things work. The basic exercises in Animate were exciting, but when it came to the app, it was slightly different. I have tried my best on this project, but I need more practice to master Adobe Animate.


Observation: The coding part was slightly different than what we learned last semester, Adobe Dreamweaver. It could have been more precise, and we always have to add this.stop ( ); in the timeline. However, Animate does help with the coding wizard part so that should make things a little better.


Findings: I am glad that Mr Razif is willing to help in a one-to-one tutorial to troubleshoot the error I faced. I would only have made the HTML work with this help. I realised that we need to be patient in finding the key error when the code doesn’t work.
