I don't really have a favorite project/challenge. I have fun doing them because it inspires me to discover/explore/experiment and push the envelope. The bonus is seeing other people's work, always an inspiration/aspiration - so many interpretations, so many different styles and approaches, so much learning to do - awesome!
This one is an oldie, #298: Using Animation Techniques to Create Countdown Timers in E-Learning.
Example: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/8d6c980f-1f43-4daf-8d54-fcf96ec0edc4/review
I enjoyed designing it. I rarely use timers so this was a good opportunity to experiment. I incorporated looping motion paths (which I had rarely used), number variables, sound effects, animation entry/exit, and a quiz. If I did it again I would work on visual consistency and font choice, and use the new background audio function. I did change a couple of visuals in this version. To actually build the story it took me a few hours, but to source images and audio, research information, and decide how to present it visually...hours+!
The goal: communicate that driving is more than just driving. To that end, I decided to make the quiz an engaging non-quiz of sorts and add a results slide to double-down on the message. All in all it was a fun experiment and I learned a thing or two!
