The topic I pulled was for a movie, so I decided to create a microsite for the upcoming Minecraft Movie as such a site was never created. I didn&#8217;t find it too challenging, but it did feel like the perfect amount of work to practice my Figma skills. I suppose difficulty, or lack thereof, can show me how far I&#8217;ve grown as a designer. Now, I&#8217;m starting to think about how I want my final project to look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to earlier semesters, I feel like this semester has been a breeze. Having only 3 classes, all online, each with a minimal workload is certainly helpful. I&#8217;m happy that I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to really learn some new skills this year, rather than being stressed out of my mind and playing catchup on a huge backlog of missed assignments. I&#8217;m looking forward to closing out the rest of the semester strong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Short post this week. I don&#8217;t have much to say; its been a good eight weeks and it&#8217;ll be another good nine. With this journal entry out of the way, I&#8217;m looking at my Canvas dashboard and noticing that my next assignment isn&#8217;t due until April 4. I think the next challenge will be figuring out how to keep myself entertained until then. Perhaps Minecraft will remain a relevant topic for me&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your head should be filled with endless whispers, vanquish them <a href=\"https:\/\/remarkable.com\/store\/remarkable-2\">remarkably<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers, and happy coding,<br>Alex<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Midterm: Sorted.
