Final Reflection
Through this module I am now able to view artwork more than just simply "wow, that's a nice design". Before, I mostly used my feelings in designing, to see what looks good and what's not to me . Now, I can understand the reason behind why a design is good or not more clearly and certainly, based on the rules and principles learnt, not just through feel. From the continuous tasks each week, where we are encouraged to keep using the theories learnt, I got to practice thinking and designing with the principles in mind. I become more used to its application and started to unconsciously incorporate more and more technical qualities in my designing process. I really enjoyed the consistent opportunity each week to repeatedly review and deepen my understanding and knowledge on design principles, as the saying goes "practice makes progress". I really appreciate how the lecturers are firm, but also supporting and understanding. One little note I had is that I wished design principles could be conducted offline (face to face) to make room for questions and discussions, fitting the targeted students. Individual learning from online videos and slides personally felt a bit like quarantine all over again. It also reduces the presence and impact of the lecturers. On the bright side, this online based study pushes me to be independently discipline and responsible. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my learning process in this module.

Form (3D area) - Creates volume when it encloses space, in 2D media it must be ...
