• What did you learn?

I learned how to use, walk around and how Adobe Premier Pro worked. I also did some editing for the first time by adding videos and a soundtrack.

• What was easy?

I enjoyed editing, I found it quite intuitive, probably thanks to the platform, because once you understand how it works, it goes quickly.

• What was challenging?

What was challenging was figuring out which video to put on and shoot, and how to put them in a row. I also made a music on soundtrap for the video, and it had to match the emotion.

• How could your submission be improved?

The transitions could be better and have a better ending to the music.

• How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?

I found his explanations clear, and being in zoom because of the storm allowed me to better see and follow how Adobe Premiere worked.

• How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

Having discovered and learned to use Adobe Premiere is a new asset that is an added value. I can talk about it in an interview or use it in a group project.

• What did you learn?

I learned how to use Unity. I didn’t know that platform. Without this course, I don’t think I would have understood how it worked because it’s not a very intuitive platform. I also learned to add an FPS controller which allowed me to wander around my world.

• What was easy?

Once I had added my assets, it was rather easy to decorate the plateau with hills, rivers, trees etc. This was the part I preferred. The slides of the course also helped to facilitate the handling of Unity.

• What was challenging?

I had to redo my project a second time because I had several problems with Unity, especially with assets. Looking for my assets, there were many that were either paying or not working. Then, once I understood that, it went well and it became nice to work on Unity, whereas at the beginning I found it complicated.

• How could your submission be improved?

I like my world, but I think that the path the character has to follow is not very beautiful and straight because it was not easy to trace it on the computer. In addition, there are parts of the ground that I have not used. That can be improved.

• How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?

We had problems with the initial assets, but the professor immediately reacted when he saw this, he looked for new ones, extended the deadline. I think he will take that into account for next year.

• How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

• What did you learn?

I learned to use Figma, it is a fairly intuitive tool to use without knowing it, unlike Photoshop. I also learned to create a site, its pages as well as the links that link the pages together, or that allow to go to another site.

• What was easy?

We already had a template with the footer and header. It made the project easier because I didn’t have to create everything. Then, as I said earlier, I find the platform very intuitive which allowed me to find what I was looking for quickly. I also had my last page idea easily.

• What was challenging?

I had a little bit of trouble centering my titles and lining them up the same. I also had problems when I wanted to move some squares or texts, it moved other things at the same time.

• How could your submission be improved?

My project can be improved by creating a larger protofilio page, by putting in other projects. I could also have tried to put the layout of my last pages on the others, but I felt that this was not what I wanted to propose.

• How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?

I don’t really see how we can improve because the lab had already allowed us to know figma, and looked like the project. In addition, I was able to have a feedback on work in progress, which allowed me to improve it before rendering.

• How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

I had never used Figma, but I had already heard about it many times. Knowing how to use the platform can only be an asset for the future whether it is to create a website or to make creative projects and applications. It is the creative side of this tool that is very practical.

• How did a specific reading or video found outside of class inspire or help you?

I didn’t watch videos but the projects from previous years present on the slides and on comdma were interesting and useful to see what I wanted and didn’t want in my project.

2. Thanks to the instructions, I was guided throughout the project which made it easier for me because I was discovering Photoshop. Without that help, I would have had a lot more trouble. I also found my idea quickly.

3. The thing I had the most trouble was to crop some images, despite the different tools offered. I also took some time to figure out how to round off a text.

4. I think the square around my text would have been better if it had been rounded around the edges, like a painting frame. I will also have added some lace on the green edge inside the card.

5. The instructions were clear apart from rounding the text. Otherwise I do not think of improving other points. The WIP session allowed me to ask my questions.

6. I am in a club in my school in France and there is a communication center where the use and knowledge of Photoshop is necessary. So now, I can help them. I can also modify my pictures and the backgrounds, which can be fun. Moreover, knowing how to use Photoshop is a skill that I will have in addition for my future work.

7. I watched the Photoshop videos the professor gave us but other than that, no.
