Word Cloud Animation - Overwhelmed

This dynamic word cloud, part of a mental health course, powerfully captures the sensation of feeling overwhelmed.

Accompanied by an accelerating heartbeat audio track, words and images appear at irregular intervals, varying in animation, color, size, and style—all competing for the learner’s attention. The chaotic buildup reaches a peak as everything fades, leaving only one word in focus: Overwhelmed.

This design intentionally breaks conventional instructional principles to vividly illustrate the concept of overwhelm, creating an immersive experience that resonates with learners on a personal level.
