REFLECTION

Experiences
In this project, I gained comprehensive practical experience by designing and executing sounds for interactive media. While using Adobe Audition, I explored the technical aspects of multi-track editing and sound, while the mixing process tested my ability to perfectly sync sound with vision. Making sound storyboards and journaling further deepened my understanding of planning and documenting workflows. In general, this practical approach has strengthened my technical and creative abilities.

Observations
Throughout the project, I observed the critical role of organization and planning in sound production. A sound storyboard is like a guide to make sure that each sound element has a purpose and is properly arranged. I've also noticed that subtle sound adjustments, such as reverbs or equalizers, can significantly enhance the authenticity and emotion of a sound scene. In addition, the process taught me the importance of teamwork and feedback, and the suggestions of others significantly optimized my work.

Findings
A key finding was the profound impact of sound on narrative and immersion. Good sound design not only enhances visual effects, but also conveys emotion and atmosphere, making the overall experience more engaging. I found that by adding and tweaking sound effects, such as footsteps, background noise, and ambient sounds, I could make the work more realistic and interesting. In addition, finding a balance between detailed accuracy and creative performance is the key to achieving superior results.

Cognitive Load  – If too much information is presented at once, it exceeds the brain’s processing capacity, leading to confusion or forgetfulness. Applications in Design & Communication: User Interface (UI) Design: Menu options or navigation links should be grouped into 5-9 items per section for better usability. Education & Learning: Breaking down complex concepts into small, manageable chunks enhances comprehension and retention. Marketing & Advertising: Product messages should be short, concise, and structured within the memory limit to maximize impact. Limitations & Modern Updates: Some later resea...
