Behind the Name
This portfolio site is named Zealous Narrative Projects or ZNProjects for short, the ZN is derived from my initial. The name is my hope for the project, may this project show my enthusiasm and passionate effort to design effective narratives for learning.

After Course Reflection:
Here are fun facts about the mini-projects:
The first mini-project I completed was the audio because the idea kept popping up in my head so I was eager to develop it.
The video/motion graphic project was the last one I finished because I needed a lot of time to edit the audio.
My favorite out of all six is the instructional design because it serves as a cheat sheet for the other projects.
I had the most fun developing the game/simulation because I love building the narrative there.
I am not satisfied with the visual and data projects because, for the visual project, I intended to make a whole overarching concept of cognitive science but I realized there is so much of it so I ended up focusing on 3 main parts related to education, behaviorism, and cognition. As for the data project, I feel like it does not adhere to my initial plan to stick to a cognitive science theme because I do not know what data to present, so I chose the next best thing, education data.
