REFLECTION

Experience
In this assignment, I struggled a few times mainly because I was initially confused and was also busy with other assignments, but I eventually did came up with a key artwork that I liked.

Observation
I have noticed that the color of the words and the background plays an important role in creating this key artwork.


Findings
Through this project, I have found that it is important to have a clear sense of direction when designing, as the design must have a meaning and a clear rationale so that it may lead to further expansions.

Fig 2.11 Reading Direction and Scanning

Designers often use a focal point that guides the reader's eye from the top-left corner. In such designs, the designer takes charge, directing the reader to the initial point of focus. This technique is used in our Task 1 assignment.
