"Embrace the Noise" is a manifesto about overcoming a sensory disorder called Misophonia. It includes animations that depict how certain ordinary noises feel to a person with Misophonia. The layout of the page was organized for the first half to give a feeling of anxiety and discomfort to the viewer so they can empathize with a Misophone's struggle. The second half is more carefully laid out to be calming. The animations for the trigger sounds contain bright contrasting colors and flashing effects to make them uncomfortable to look at. They are paired with sounds that are edited to be louder and sharper to compare with how a Misophone hears them. In the second half of the manifesto I focused on overcoming the disorder and things I can do to calm down from an episode. I included animations with sounds that make me happy. I also created a set of downloadable kindness card animations that the viewer can download and share.
