Personal Burnout Experience

During my time in university when I was studying Psychology, I experienced a severe burnout due to the never-ending stream of assignments. I constantly felt overwhelmed and exhausted, struggling to keep up with the demands of my coursework. Every day was a race against time, with deadlines looming and my workload piling up. Despite my best efforts, I often found myself staying up late into the night to complete assignments, sacrificing my sleep and social life. This cycle of stress and pressure eventually caught up to me, and I became disengaged from my work, struggling to find motivation to complete even the most basic tasks. It was a very difficult experience at that time but eventually I got through it. After that experience, I realize that it is important to have a balance between work and self-care. 

Final Project - Burnout

For this project, we were to create an animated infographic. This was a group project. Before starting our project, we created a miro board for our animated infographic. We then discuss about our character inspiration, graphic style and etc.

After that, we started by creating a storyboard for our animated infographic. After that we created an animatic and presented it to Mr. Martin.

Fig 1.3 Animatic

After getting approval from Mr. Martin, we made some changes and started creating the visuals for our animated infographic. We divided the task among our groupmates and started the task. We started of with sketches. Anna Ong did the sketches and Emelyne proceeded to outline the sketches.

After the outlines were done, Avril and I started colouring the outlines.

When the colouring was done, Gina, Sarah and Raemi started animating the scenes.

REFLECTION

This was a very fun project to complete. I am grateful that I can work together with my groupmates to produce this burnout animation. I really enjoyed the process of creating the burnout animation even though it was not as easy as I thought it would be. It is kind of a lengthy process but my groupmates and I managed to complete everything in time. From this project, I learn how to colour better using Adobe Illustrator. I am really happy with the outcome of our final project.
