FINAL REFLECTION

Over the course of the semester, I have enjoyed design principles a lot. I have learnt so many principles that can be applied to an artwork. I enjoyed creating the artworks as I get to try out different things and art styles. What I did not enjoy the most was having to wonder when is it going to be my turn to receive feedback from Dr. Jinchi. From this module, I learnt that I am not the best at colouring artworks but I still try by best to and am still learning how to. As I know more design principles now, I am able to apply them in my artwork which really helps me to be a better designer. As for what to improve in this module, maybe lecturers could create a namelist for student to get feedback so that we would know when is it our turn to get feedback instead of having to just wait, not knowing when is our turn to get the feedback.
