Self Biography
Intro
Chelsea, full name Yang Zhi Ching. I was born on February 25, 2004, Pisces. I am local from Johor, Malaysia. I graduated from the independent school Foon Yew High School in 2022. After high school, I enrolled at Taylor's University and major in Creative Media Design.
Paragraph 1
It is always difficult to describe ourselves, so I've chosen the Mbti personality as the starting point--I am an INFP. To encapsulate it in four words: introversion, intuition, emotion, and perception. Put simply, I cherish solitude. In many ways, I do things intuitively and do whatever comes to my mind.
Paragraph 2
My interests gravitate towards words and art, like reading novels and paintings, and collecting aesthetically pleasing and delicate things. The INFP is often associated with having a keen sense of aesthetics.
Summary
My strengths lie in high empathy and gentleness, yet I don't consider myself on overly enthusiastic person. I'm not accustomed to taking the initiative. Online, people label the INFP personality as follows: pessimistic, procrastination, lack of motivation, daydreamer, and timid. Despite they don’t seem to be good words, I think they fit me quite well.
Intro
As per self bio, I have INFP as my subject. INFP is called "little butterfly" in anthropomorphism, and butterflies have always been my favorite logo pattern, served as the theme of my work.
Paragraph 1
Butterflies are fragile and beautiful. I especially like the idiom "break out of a cocoon and become a butterfly". It gives me a sense of beauty of "rebirth, brilliance, blooming, and dreamland".
Paragraph 2
I chose my favorite pink blue with high saturation as the main colortone, I integrated the motion of flying butterflies as the rhythm of the entire animation. Midway through, a butterfly occupies the entire frame, and then my portrait begins to breathe and blink, indicating my ‘rebirth’. The font is rendered using a particle effect, which refers to the ‘fragility’ of the butterfly.
Summary
The central theme of my work revolves around butterflies. In my own words, "If I were to liken myself to a creature, I would choose to be a brave and romantic butterfly."

The title tribute to the famous novel “To Kill a Mockingbird”. I would like to share the sentence in the book to all my loved INFP:
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.”
FEEDBACK
REFLECTION
Using the new software AE was the biggest difficulty for this project, so I searched for various needed tutorials from various social platform such as Google, TikTok and YouTube, and put them into practice in the project. During the whole process, I have made significant progress from not understanding the operation page of ae to being able to perform basic operations.
From shooting the portrait to post-production, this project requires a lot of mobility. By the way, I found that when I searched for copywriting and pictures suitable for INFP, I liked all the search results very much. Sure enough, I am a typical ‘INFP’.
