REFLECTIONS:
Experience:
Since this is my first time using Adobe Animate, it was quite confusing and hard to adapt at first and I had no idea how we would be able to achieve an interactive, working website with Adobe Animate. However, during the weeks we had the exercises, it introduced me to the basics of the app and how it operates. All of the exercises Mr. Shamsul taught was very helpful in the long run and for my final project too.
Observations:
I observed that I myself tend to forget the little things that cause my animation to not run at all and encounter issues. This is an observation that I will keep in mind when doing future projects as the littlest things in Adobe Animate matters a lot for the final product to work well.
Findings:
With using Adobe Animate, I find that the app is so difficult to get used to for beginners. It takes frequent practice and continuous usage for one to understand how the app works.
