Reflection

Experience

Illustration and Visual Narrative really taught me a lot of things such as creative thinking skills, storytelling skills and skills of using Adobe Illustrator. For the first project I will need to create a character based on creativity by myself which was quite challenging for me but I have imrpoved on it after I sought for Mr Hafiz's opinions. Moreover, this module also teach me how to create something from zero while every single elements we have to create by our own. I really appreciate and satisfied after I have successfully done my work.

Observations

I have observed that I keep on improving while finished each assignment as I getting more and more familiar with the tools in Adobe Illustrator. This enable me to become more efficient and able to explore new functions in Adobe Illustrator. Apart from that, actually a lot of good works required a lot of details in it such as texture, gradient and more which text my sense of designing. 

Findings

Basically, I was not only learned about techniques of illustration but also animation skills as project 2 decisive moment required it. I found out that animation can be done in Adobe Photoshop also, not only in after effects. Also, illustration not just including graphic design skills but also animation skill as well.
