Experience
Working on my Advanced Interactive Design final project was both challenging and rewarding. It was the first time I had to bring everything I learned in the course together into one functioning interactive website. At the start, I felt excited but also a bit unsure about whether I could actually combine design, interaction and technical skills smoothly in one project.
Throughout the process, I spent a lot of time planning the website structure and creating visuals that suited the theme. Using Adobe Animate was quite difficult at first because some animations did not work properly and a few features glitched while testing. There were moments when I felt frustrated, but I kept trying different approaches, revisiting my notes, and experimenting until things finally worked. Seeing my website live online in the end made me feel proud of the effort I put in.
Observations
While doing this project, I realised that designing something people will actually use feels very different from just planning it in theory. I started paying more attention to how users move through the website, which buttons they would click, and how smooth the whole experience feels for them. I also noticed that even small technical issues can really affect the overall design experience, so testing and refining became a very important part of my process.
I also observed my own working habits. Setting small goals and keeping myself organised helped reduce stress toward the end. I became more patient when solving problems, especially when animations and links did not behave the way I expected. This project showed me not only what I can do technically, but also how I handle pressure and challenges.
Findings
From this project, I learned how important it is to balance visual design with functionality in interactive work. A website can look beautiful, but if the interactions are not smooth, the user experience will still suffer. I also realised how much I have grown since the beginning of the course, especially in my ability to troubleshoot issues instead of giving up when things go wrong.
At the same time, I became more aware of areas I still want to improve, such as responsive design and creating smoother, more polished animations. Overall, this project helped me build confidence as a designer and gave me a clearer understanding of what interactive design really involves in real-world projects.
