Task 01 | Thematic Interactive Design Proposal
INSTRUCTION
EXERCISES
Exercise 01 | Lines and Shapes
During the first class, Mr. Shamsul introduced us to Adobe Animate and guided
us through its basic features. He explained the interface, showing us how to
navigate tools like the timeline, layers, and drawing tools. The session set a
solid foundation for us to explore more advanced animation techniques in
future classes.

Exercise 02 | Car Motion
We then learned how to create simple animations by working with keyframes and
motion tweens. Mr. Shamsul also emphasized the importance of understanding the
software’s capabilities for creating interactive and engaging content.

Exercise 03 | Spider Motion
During this class, Mr. Shamsul introduced us to a more complex animation
technique, and I found myself feeling a bit overwhelmed. The new skills
involved multiple layers of detail and precision that went beyond the basics
we had previously learned. It required more intricate use of keyframes and
advanced motion effects, which initially felt intimidating. I struggled to
keep up at first, but Mr. Shamsul’s step-by-step guidance helped me gradually
understand the process.

Choosing the topic
Initially, I brainstormed five different topics to present to Mr. Shamsul for
feedback. I wanted to explore different ideas, so I picked a range of subjects
that intrigued me. When I shared them with him, he carefully reviewed each one
and gave me insightful feedback on which would be the best fit based on my
interests and the project requirements.

Brainstorming
When brainstorming the thematic interactive website proposal for Van
Gogh's Immersive Art Journey, I started by thinking about how to capture
the emotional essence of Van Gogh’s work while also creating a compelling
user experience. I explored ways to make the website not just a gallery
but a multi-sensory journey, where users could interact with the
art—feeling the texture of his brushstrokes virtually, learning about his
techniques, and hearing stories behind each piece. I also considered how
to structure the flow so that users feel connected to Van Gogh's life,
progressing through different phases of his artistic journey. Balancing
the visual aesthetics with seamless functionality became a central focus
in my brainstorming, making sure that the website would be engaging,
educational, and easy to navigate.

REFLECTION
Experience
Working on a proposal for an interactive website themed around Van Gogh's
Immersive Art Journey was both creatively enriching and technically
challenging. It was not just about showcasing his art; it was about making it come
alive in a digital space. Balancing the emotional depth and vibrant
energy of Van Gogh’s work with the technical aspects of web design were
quite a struggle. I needed to create something that was not just
visually appealing but also engaging and informational for the
users.
Objectives
The aim was to create a website that did not just display Van Gogh’s
artwork but invited users to truly experience it. I wanted people to feel
immersed in his world, allowing them to explore his masterpieces in a way
that engaged their senses and sparked curiosity. It was not just about
looking at the art but interacting with it—whether through virtual
galleries or interactive features that make Van Gogh's techniques and
vision feel more personal and alive.
Findings
Through this project, I realized how important it is to connect
emotional storytelling with technology. Incorporating elements like
virtual galleries, audio narratives, and interactive features allowed
the art to be more than a visual experience. User engagement could be
enhanced through interactive timelines and in-depth information on Van
Gogh’s techniques and life, bridging the gap between art history and
modern technology. This experience also deepened my understanding of
audience interaction, as creating a smooth and intuitive interface was
essential to maintain user interest.
