Project 1: Draft Dissertation
Before we proceed on writing section 2 literature review, we are instructed to create a literature review matrix based on the literature review we have done last semester. This aims to let uds have a clearer concept about what we were writing and we will be able to separate the area of study according to the topic.

Project 2: Visual Design Publication

Firstly, for the cover page I have done the rough sketch in Procreate before I showed it to Dr Hayati. After I have proposed nmy moodboard to Dr Hayati, sahe gave me some feedbacks on modifying the cover page. Hence, I have proceeded my cover page design on Adobe Illustrator by applying the 3D effects accordingly.

Other than that, for the content page, I have also designed it by myself in Adobe Illustrator following the colour paltte. In order to make my content pagre design related to my topic, I have appliued the texture or lines with shapes using the textures provided in Adobe Illustrator.

Reflection
After last semester, I have met this module which is a continuous module for DRM again. I have tried hard and really did my best for last semester, so I would definitely work hard again for this module. To be honest, this module wasn't my favourite module as I think I am not that passionate about doing and writing research. I actually kind of worried about myself on this module as my weakness is in this area and I am afraid that I would not be able to complete this module nicely as I expected. However, I have met a very nice and responsible tutor, Dr Noorhayati! She was very friendly, kind and also made sure we are on the right track by supervising us all the time and providing us with constructive and useful feedback and advice. I have a lot of moments when I am lost and have no idea what I should do. Luckily, by attending the class every week. I managed to follow up with the timeline and get instant feedback from Dr Noorhayati.
When it came close to the end of this journey, I was actually overwhelmed with other assignments and lose of the time management but I tried my best to catch up with the work. When doing the compilation of all the works then only I realised that in these 14 weeks actually I have done a lot more than I expected. I really learned a lot of things throughout this journey, not only about the knowledge part, but also the soft skills part like problem solving, time management, discipline, attention to detail, etc. I was amazed by myself, and I cannot believe that I actually designed a book! Maybe I can consider publishing it lol since I have designed the layout so hard for it. I love my visual design publication so much and it was actually my favourite assignment in this module. I may not be the best student but I have really tried my best in this module. I am really thankful for this module which made me grow a lot and my tutor for guiding us along the journey!
