What did you learn?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this project, I learned how to arrange and manipulate text in a way that expresses meaning by making adjustments in details such as sizing, spacing, cutting, and placement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. What was easy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, this project wasn&#8217;t difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. What was challenging?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creatively, this project was more challenging. Coming up with movies that had a clear enough theme that could be conveyed through type took some time, and then figuring out the most effective way to do that took a lot of experimentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. How could your submission be improved?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I think there&#8217;s still more that I could do with &#8220;frozen.&#8221; I thought the shattered text effect would be fitting for this movie to create a breaking ice effect, and then I decided to use it just on the &#8220;e&#8221; rather than the whole word to create a sense of isolation reflecting the isolation that Elsa experiences in the movie. It still feels incomplete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The project instructions were a bit confusing; I think it was because there were so many different lists and examples. Somehow making the instructions more concise might be helpful.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After this project, I feel more comfortable working with text in Figma for future projects. I also think the classified list of sans-serif fonts will be a helpful resource to have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The video showing how to create shattered text in Figma was helpful when working with &#8220;frozen.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"792\" height=\"1224\" src=\"https:\/\/comdma.com\/erdmanc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/216\/2023\/10\/final-design-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comdma.com\/erdmanc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/216\/2023\/10\/final-design-1.png 792w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/erdmanc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/216\/2023\/10\/final-design-1-194x300.png 194w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/erdmanc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/216\/2023\/10\/final-design-1-663x1024.png 663w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/erdmanc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/216\/2023\/10\/final-design-1-768x1187.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
