REFLECTIONS:
Experience:
This module was very unexpected for me. I had expected to learn more coding, exploring further beyond HTML and CSS so when I knew we were going to use Adobe Animate to create our website, I was a bit worried since I'm very new to this software and wasn't sure I could get myself used to it in a limited timeframe. However, I would like to admit that the continuous process taught me a lot of things in terms of making an interesting, accessible UI and a simple, good UX for the users. It definitely takes more time than I had imagined. 

I learned so much about UI/UX and Adobe Animate which I believe will be immensely useful in the long run. I'm also quite satisfied with my website since it took so much hard work and effort along the 14 weeks. 

Observations:
Throughout this module, I observed how important UI/UX is and how it cannot be neglected and ignored just because the website is more interactive than static and is a bit different to usual websites. Moreover, the difficulty of designing the UI layout lies in the fact that it needs to thematically align with our website. Having it laid too plain would disrupt our theme so a balance of accessibility, function, and creativity is needed in order for our website to look thematic and cohesive while maintaining users' experience on the web itself. 

Findings:
I find that learning a new software doesn't end up being too hard if we have enough practice. Honestly, doing my website for a few continuous days increased my knowledge in the software. I also find that troubleshooting by myself for a lot of the issues really helped me get to know the app better.
