REFLECTION

Experience:

Through these 14 weeks, it was an exciting and enjoyable journey. With limited resources, we manage to learn independently through online platforms with an effective guide from Mr.Fauzi. Sometimes, I struggled to come out with ideas and felt lost in the middle. I truly appreciated the feedbacks and words of encouragement from Mr. Fauzi. Learning in a positive environment had driven my motivation to do my best in every single task.  

Observation:

Time management is crucial when it comes to handling multiple tasks at once, completing all the weekly tasks and exercises as well as updating the E-portfolio. Furthermore, Mr Fauzi's tip to document files is really useful and it trained us to be more organize and systematic. It was fantastic to learn about Mr. Fauzi's real-life experiences and initiatives, which helped us to prepare for the industrial.

Findings:

At first, I thought this module would be mainly about photography. To my surprise, it is way broader than I expected. We have learned about the golden ratio, rule of thirds and visual hierarchy to build a good design composition. All of these theories and techniques require consistent practice to improve the quality of work. As this module conducted fully online, self initiatives are important in researching extra references to enhance the knowledge that we have learned.
