REFLECTIONS

Experience:
In the 14 weeks of this module, I learned so many new things surrounding Illustration and Adobe Illustrator. I'm not so good in illustration and narrating visually but this module has helped me a lot in terms of practicing the theories. I also like that I get to explore my own creative ideas and I get to see the end result of my own creativity. Though it isn't my first time using Illustrator, it was such an interesting process to know more functions and features of Illustrator. I've learned so much useful knowledge in these 14 weeks. 

Observations:
I observed that there is a technique in achieving a good and cohesive illustration with many theories that should be applied. I observed that a good illustration should also be able to narrate the message clearly to the audience. 

Findings:
I find that understanding each features in using Adobe Illustrator can definitely help us execute our ideas and our illustrations well, it can improve our visual narration. I've also found that for an illustration or a piece to communicate well to the audience, it needs many contributing factors such as lighting, shadows, positions, movements, etc.
