REFLECTION

 Experiences
To sum up, I have experienced depressed and disappointed towards myself as I couldn't come out with a good idea or a outcome that look nice for me or when I feel it is good but actually it is "ridiculous" design from the point of a professional designer. But I still manage to become a better me after all, with some basic skills and a typographer's mindset prepared, which is I appreciate the most as I really struggling initially because I am always not sure that if I am doing right or doing wrong when looking myself as a typography beginner, not a designer. I am happy with it at the end when I can make sure that I am working on the right track.

Observations
I do realized that I start to seeing things as a design student who learn typography, started to gain motivation in continuing observing the environment and improve myself just to let me could know what the world is going on. There is so much things I do not know but only before enrolling in this module. As Mr. Vinod said, the key to become a good designer is start looking at other's work, appreciate it, and analyze it, try to know what is happening behind the story. I do have huge interest in this, having fun but exploring my mind at the same time.

 Findings
Really appreciate learning from the lecturers that having high expectation and requirements from us. Although we might be a weaker batch compare to seniors but still appreciate a lot of the feedbacks, advices and critiques from Mr. Vinod and Mr. shamsul. I found that I could work efficiently and produce a quality outcome under such high pressure environment. I think it is not the highest requirements towards us from the lecturers. Hope that their expectation towards could be higher and higher so that we could know our own weaknesses and make improvements.

Towel We also designed a merchandise box which will store all of our merchandises together. These 4 items were chosen as they are essential products which would benefit our target audience, Malaysian flood victims. These products could come alongside with the food packaging for the flood victims. Bundle Box For the bundle box, our design intention was to not just package several food packages in one but also meant for easy transportation. We chose a gable box as the addition of handle allows the packaging to be easily carried by everyone. Fig 1.0 De...
