Production
During the project production I encountered the following problems:
1. Last minute change
My initial idea for the project could not be implemented at all because certain conditions could not be fulfilled. I will try my best to consider the feasibility of my idea first.
2. Organize
As we all know, an interactive project usually consists of four parts: html, css, javascript, image. Sometimes sounds are also necessary. I concluded that making a project efficiently requires a thoughtful procedure of organizing the following: constructing plan, collecting assets, finding tutorials, et cetera. We should also pause from time to time to check whether the project works.
3. Detail
During coding, I ran into a large number of hiccups, usually due to some minor mistakes, such as typing a colon instead of a semicolon, missing a parenthesis, et cetera. As a saying goes, a miss is as good as a mile. In the future I’ll pay more attention to the details.
Presentation
After putting a lot of hard effort into production, my presentation was overall a great success. As an amateur, I mainly regarded the project as an assignment to accomplish only. However, after the meaningful feedback from classmates and learning assistants and instructors, I came to realize the importance of user experience. When constructing an interactive project, we have to keep in mind that it is for the user to experience. So it is essential to put ourselves in others’ shoes. For example, does the title mislead readers？Does the background music correlate with the theme? Will the user feel what you want them to feel? Is the message fully conveyed? These questions are something we need to contemplate upon.
