Reflection 

Experience

Fonts and stickers were particularly interesting tasks. It's been hard since I came up with the idea, but it's rewarding. I also used InDesign for the first time, so I think it was a good experience. Durning feedback time, Mr Vinod gave me advice. And It was a great experience for me to see how they actually make it. By receiving feedback and thinking for myself, the work improved. I also want to complete the font if I have time.

Observation

During class time, I could see a lot of attractive ideas that my classmates. It became a good stimulation and experience, and I like this time. And I'm not used to software like illustrator and indesign yet. So I need to use it more and remember the tool names. I want to make good use of it while thinking about the portfolio and the meaning of writing reflections.

Findings

I think that my experience will be important when designing things. I wanted to increase the number of idea banks in my daily life. I've become more aware of design than before. And when I get one good idea, I tend to stop thinking from there. I often try to go with that one idea. Even if I come up with several ideas, they end up being similar. I want to improve these behaviors. I think this is a big challenge for me.

And although there are many designs in our daily lives, I learned the greatness of the design industry and creators through this time. I took a lot of time to do one thing.
