MY REFLECTION
WEEKLY PROGRESS
WEEK 6: GROUP DISCUSSION +RESEARCH
After our first group discussion, we separated the work into four parts and did research. We compiled all our information in a google doc that is shared among us. We also went and search for layout inspiration on Pinterest.
WEEK 7: ORGANIZE INFORMATION
We went to organize what is useful and what is not, gathering useful information and arranging them in a google slide before inserting them into Canva. I went to Adobe Illustrator to draw out the maps and circulation paths.
​
I also start organizing everything we have onto the canva board.
WEEK 8: CHANGE OF LAYOUT+ IMPROVEMENTS
After we got feedback from Ms Reene, we went in and improved the parts that we are lacking. I also changed the layout of the board so that the macro analysis and micro analysis are not scattered.
We started writing the script for our presentation.
WEEK 9: ADDING IN VIDEOS
For the last week, we recorded our script edited it with supporting images and footages. Lastly, I added the videos into the slots prepared in the board.
REFLECTION
1. DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE
​By the end of the assignment, I discovered that the leader of the group plays an important role in ensuring group coordination. During the research phase, I coordinated the group in doing research for different topics so that our research does not overlap one another.
2. LIFELONG LEARNING
For this assignment, I used Adobe Photoshop to draw out plans, so the chance to learn and get use to it was beneficial.
MY REFLECTION
3. INTRAPERSONAL SKILLS
We initially have issues with choosing the best layout, I learned that to solve a problem I have to first identify the root of the problem. To think critically and creatively instead of depending on lecturers and tutors for the direct solution.
