III. PROCESS

For this task, I used the previous Figma prototype as reference. 


To start, I went to Google Fonts to download the fonts I have used in my Figma prototype. I learned that I had to get the static versions, not the variable versions, as they don't work properly in an HTML5 document.

Next, I started with the homepage. I basically made the overall theme and the base for the rest of the pages here.

Next, I created the main experience of my website: the menu ordering.

I also started adding the homepage text and transition animations.

After completing the Homepage, I moved on to the variations of the Experience page. I duplicated it and named it after the disabilities: ADHD, Colorblindness, and Dyslexia.

Figure 1.9: Dyslexia Ordering Page

For the Dyslexia page, I took inspiration from this simulator: Link!. I decided to make the words (except the title and the navigation bar) move and change into slight variations of them. In order to do that, I had to do it frame-by-frame.

Next up is the ADHD page. This one was relatively simple, and I just added a few pop-ups to "distract" the user.

I also animated the pop-ups to further add more motion.

Lastly, I did the colorblind pages. I decided to cover 2 types of colorblindness: Deuteranopia, the most common, and Monochromacy, the rarest.

After completing the main experience pages, I moved on to the Information Pages. I changed it up a bit from the Figma prototype, as I felt that it wasn't consistent across all pages.

I made it so that the Information page also used rectangles, with each of its representative colors and shapes complementing it.

The specific information pages all follow the same layout. However, I added more information for the Colorblind Pages, as it needed to be more specific, and I covered 2 of these types.

V. REFLECTION

Throughout this module, I really enjoyed learning how to use Adobe Animate. Although I found it challenging at first, I began to feel more confident after completing the first three tasks. I especially enjoyed working on the final assignment, as it allowed me to apply the skills I had developed throughout the module. In the future, I hope to explore more advanced techniques and tools, such as GSAP.
