REFLECTION

Experience:

Overall, my experience in creating an infographic animation on the impact of social media on society topic with my group was a valuable learning experience. Despite some challenges was faced in cooperating among group members it was still a great experience in working together. It's not only has enhanced the understanding of the subject matter but also creates our collaborative and creative skills, preparing us for future projects in both academic and professional settings.

Observation:

During the project, I observed that each member of the group brought unique perspectives and skills to the table. Some excelled in research, gathering relevant data and statistics on the societal impact of social media, while others demonstrated strong graphic design abilities, creating visually appealing visuals for the infographic animation. Collaboration was essential in combining these diverse skills to create a cohesive and informative final product.

Findings:

Group project requires thorough research, thoughtful design, effective communication. By following these key principles and considerations, the project can effectively communicate complex information and contribute to a deeper understanding of the roles of social media in society.
