FEEDBACK

Week 6: 

General feedback: Focus on one thing. Don't do 2 things at the same time. 

Week 7: -

Week 8:- 

(Independent learning week)

REFLECTION

Experience: My experience on this assignment is that now I know a little bit how to use Adobe Indesign because it is a new experience to try this app. The assignment is a bit confusing because it is sort of easy and also hard at the same time in my opinion. 

Observations: The head or title shouldn't be to contrast because it is going to be weird.

Findings: By doing the layout trials now I just realize how another person see my work or see another person perspective.
