Reflection


Experience
This has been such a great experience for me, to more so do and learn about advertising, but also to develop my critical thinking skills, skills like analysing and creative thinking and it just widen my view on design. its been really fun, to work on this project and in this module was such an amazing experience i genuinely wouldn't trade it for anything else, at times there was a lot of struggles, yes there was a lot but i really think that all of those challenges, all the late nights trying to push myself to figure out with more ideas, trying to think of the right words to put on my blog, always trying to motivate myself to keep doing. All of that really did pay off when i saw my final portfolio, to be honest if i were to go back, yes i would try to change and improve it, but seeing it was very surreal, that all of the work and effort was put into that folder. Also by learning all of this it really helps me understand myself better, about how my observation skills rise, and i really did manage to learn how to observe work and be more critical towards it, i also learn not to be please with myself and always learning to push the 
boundaries, and also how it is important to have a good critical mind, and this module has really challenge me to keep on growing as a creator, i really feel like this module has challenge me back to my core as what is a designer but also i really want to point out that how much i couldn't stress enough about being push and always learning also pushing the boundaries. 

For the project itself, was pretty stressful, dealing with the word hybrid for the past 4 months wasn't easy to begin with, but i realise how much it really help me to keep on pushing ideas, ideas can come within a second or even a month, so i learn never to stop exploring and searching. Also to improve my reflection skills, its not easy to have all the information, yet to sit down on a laptop snd just tackle it deceiver it and put it into easily understandable words

Observation
I've noticed that i really love my class, we get along really well, the thing i love the most is that we always watch out for each other and that we always try to help each other too despite our own problems, its small but it feels very warn i seriously think the class is so much fun, we didn't really talk much at the beginning but we talk a lot like behind the scenes and not when lectures or classes but we really do try to help each other, i think thats important and also no one is trying to be better than each other, we're just all trying to keep up and improve, i think thats what makes it so special, how we're all just genuinely trying to do our best.

Through out these weeks i also find that i hate blogger so much, the alignment keeps going of, the spacing is terrible and i prefer doing a hard copy portfolio more than blogging.

This reflection section is useful for complains i think when we can't really say much just write just write every complains down here and i'm actually someone who likes to write, i just despise blogger as a platform.

Findings
I find myself to be really harsh on myself, and thinking that whatever i'm doing is never good enough and that i'm always aiming for doing my best, but sometimes i compare myself to much to others, i guess i really have to work on how to really focus on my own lane and always improve myself. 

I also found out how i'm terrible with technical stuff, and how when something is technically unsorted it drives me crazy most of the times.

All and all i really enjoy this module, to those future juniors, strive to always be better always push yourself beyond the limit, try to always have a stamp in the works that you do, also a huge thank you to Mr Vinod, i really couldn't thank you enough Sir for all the advise and help you gave, you really push all of us to improve and be better, and for that i really want to say a huge thank you to you Sir.

Cheers guys see you next semester !
