Having said all that, however, the actual assignment itself is one I liked. I got to revisit a work that I was very proud of and basically re-imagine ways to present it. As a visual learner, having the original assignment presented in this way was a lot nicer and more appealing to me than just walls of text. I haven’t actually done something like this much in college (or really, high school either) so I’m learning a lot of new ways to be creative when it comes to not only finding good images to represent data, but also ways to actually present the data in a way that is appealing and logical.
I found that having the outline (which isn’t something I usually do for visual work, to be honest) was actually really helpful. Whenever I forgot how I wanted something arranged, I would refer back to the outline and use it to remember exactly what I wanted, instead of just winging it. The process as a whole has been stressful, but that’s primarily due to the way I chose to allot my time on it. Overall, I really like this assignment, probably more so than the other Gateway course assignments.
