REFLECTION

Experience: 

Actually, I think this module is quite fun overall, it is about experimenting. It was fun doing these tasks, I learned more observations about observing our surroundings like the type and play part 1. And this semester, many holidays fall on Monday, so it does give us more time to do our tasks, but at the same time, I couldn't manage my time really well, I will spend the time doing other modules projects instead of this module. 

Observation:
I observed that I'm still lacking the ability to explore ideas and also skills in doing these like using Adobe apps. Sometimes the outcomes just do not meet my expectations in my brain. This module allows us to have more imagination about everything. And through these tasks, I feel like my ability to observe is getting stronger as tasks like type and play part 1 require observations, and I will observe lots of detailed things unconsciously after the task which I think was a good thing.

Findings:

These tasks tell us that things around us can also be used as a part of the design. I think this is an important thing I should learn because I always ignored things around me and don't realize that design is closely related to our life. Overall, I think all of them are very helpful in helping us explore and experiment, and they might be helpful to some of our future.
