Throughout the project, I found myself in various predicaments, knowing how I usually think I tend to change my mind from one idea to another. A factor that attracted hardship and struggles within the weeks of which I had to finalise and execute the plan.

Over the past few weeks of developing and improving my finale video. Reflecting back, another problem I had was time management. Due to my changes week after week, I ended up being behind on my scheduled plan I set for myself. Getting backtrack took time, at one point, I ended up losing all my work due to technical difficulties which had affected my creative thinking putting me in a rough position. But after asking advice and guidance from other peers and my lecturers I eventually got myself back together and on track.

The process of my video went through many paths, though I had many attempts of creating a video within the deaf/blind target audience, I personally struggled with executing the idea. Therefore, I went on with the idea of “Ways of Communication”. Within my video, I created a story of what graphic design to me but in forms of communication. By using ASL, Morse code and braille, these list of types of communication shows samples on how communication can be in any form. The idea of communication gave me inspiration in exploring communication outside the box. Combining my research and the idea of communication had develop my critical thinking and think in depth on how to execute this new and final idea to something highlighting its originality and defining its meaning.

The project had taught me to be vigilant with the time I have, it is imperative to organise and balance all that is needed to complete the overall project. Overall, I ended up with a piece that I am proud of. The features within my design involve the idea of visual story and simplistic atmosphere through its minimalistic form. The concept of ways of design had become my pillar in completing my overall finale, having this in mind allowed me to have a thought of clarifying that shows the way of how its shows its performance through the help with my two inspirational videos. Perhaps if I had the time or if I would do this project at a different time, I would probably try focusing on my original idea of deaf/blind target. Somehow, I felt that if I were to have successfully executed the idea, my video would be able to help my target audience in pursuing anything they desire. An inspirational video in a stylistic motion graphics way.
