Youth Participatory Action Research

Before I began to storyboard, I reviewed the branding guidelines given to me by our subject matter experts and created design palettes to ensure consistency throughout the design.

Then, I began to storyboard the video using Figma. In the past, I have used Adobe Illustrator to edit vector images and plan storyboards. But for this project, I wanted to challenge myself to complete the same task in Figma. In the end, this was a good step for not only my own growth but for the collaborative nature of Figma.

Once storyboarding was complete, I was able to begin creating and animating the video. I determined what animations would be used and in what capacity (i.e. sliding animations would be used for title assets, fade transitions between slides, etc.). I also designed a title slide and selected background music that would be utilized for all remaining modules.

Once the video was complete, I edited subtitles to meet accessibility standards and implemented feedback from both my internal team and the external subject matter experts.
