REFLECTION

Experience:

Although the tasks in this semester were fun and interesting compared with the class in last semester, but the work that needed to be done was getting more and heavier. The first few weeks I could still handle the task, but during task 2, I was feeling stressed because I didn't do my work well and also with other module assignments. So, I decided to try arranging my time and work more systematically. 

Observation:

Throughout this semester, I learned that I needed to think critically about my own work by analyzing them and trying to improve them. Besides, persevering with the tasks I keep attempting to do yields little benefit and it just causes me to waste time, so I needed to take a step back and prepared another better plan. I also need to manage my time better, so that I won't lack in progress or too rush to complete the task during the submission week.

Findings:

I discovered that doing research and examining expert works as well as designs like Pentagram and Pinterest were very helpful in producing better work. I also found that exploring other designers' work would provide me inspiration and finish my work faster, although I am still concerned that I would easily get influenced by their work.
