Time Management

I definately feel at this point that i am behind schedule. It was awkward completing my disseration and working another assignment at the same time as working on the project. I had issues with the disseration module that had set me back in various ways so i had to completely devote my time working and finishing it to a submittable standard. The other assignment i had mostly completed so i only needed a bit of time to finish that. In doing so, i had to put the project on hold which isnt ideal but i know i wasnt the only one that did so.

I have now started to animated and managed to refamiliarise myself with animate and complete a section in a day. This included drawing the scene, animating and finding the relevant sounds for it. Given that most of my scenes are ready to be animated, i dont feel too uneazy about the workload but i know i have to devote my time to this project in order to complete it.

I also have to stop my mind adding things as im working on it. This is an issue ive had before and i need to say no to these urges and work on what i need to before going in to add any extras i wish.

Endometriosis Surgery Leaflet

Image
Whilst looking for a leaflet about endometriosis, i found one that is given to patient before having surgery to diagnose and remove endometriosis. Speaking from personal experience, my own research and my own time spent speaking with various doctors and nurses over 9 years. I have broken the leaflet down to make comments on each section. From the outset, the leaflet mentions that it is a laparoscopy which is minimally invasive keyhole surgery. One key part of the surgery is that carbon dioxide is used to inflate the abdomen allowing the surgeon more movement and vision within the abdomen. This i will come back to later. Here the leaflet described what endometriosis is. If youre having surgery to diagnose and remove endometrial tissue, this should be very clear already. The patient should have tried medical methods to reduce the symptoms of endometriosis before getting to this point. The wording is also very weird. The document is very professional yet it says "tummy" and...

Animations that Address Issues

Image
I first tried to look for something simalar to what i am planning to do. The only videos i could find were very clinical. They showed a lot of detail about endometriosis and theres no soft approach to it. I instead tried to look for other instances where it was difficult to talk about the subject but an animation was created to help shed light on the issue. Recently, campaigns to raise awareness of mental health issues has been on the rise. We All Have Mental Health 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxIDKZHW3-E&t=33s   The animation tells a story of a school girl feeling stressed and how she approaches her mother about it. It then goes on to talk about a boy who had great difficulty overcoming his feelings and had problems talking to people about it. The animation itself is quite simple in style and often uses visual symbolism to illustrate what is being narrated. It is about 5 minutes long and tells both stories in an effective amount of time. The target audie...

Leaflet so far

Image
This is the current standing of the front page. The colours should help the leaflet stand out. I also included the word endometriosis at the top if the leaflet is stacked in a way that the title is covered. This is the middle of the leaflet. I am yet to add any illustrations but wanted to make sure i got the layout of the information correct and that i had sufficient space to fit it. The back page i have reserved for links to more information and a still image of the animation with a link to that.
