Reflection:

Experience:
Throughout the whole journey I've been through, it was an amazing experience getting a chance to study all the things about the software of Adobe Photoshop, After Effect as well as some techniques and terms when creating an art work. In this module I learnt about blend in all the images and use some effects to create more interesting outcome and many more. This module really taught me an interesting technique and developed me to be more creative in designing and manipulating images. I also learnt the terms such as surrealism and got a chance to design my own surrealism poster and movie motion poster which is interesting. Aside from that, I never thought that we will animate certain art work that we did using After effect software which is my first time using the software.


Observation:
From what I observed throughout my first semester is that my outcome is not that pleasing and satisfying as the semester is approaching to an end. I felt that we lack guidance and we were left to do our work on our own. Although we can seek advice and some feedback if we need. Since we were tasked to do some project on our own, I felt some difficulty in using the software and stuck with one idea.  I realize that not being guided by our lecturer and so minimal feedback really made me struggle a lot and the outcome was also not so pleasing. I came to learn that I need to study on my own and see tutorials in youtube. This module is not that easy as I thought because you need to figure out using the software and techniques on your own. I keep on getting stuck on 1 idea because no inspiration. As the semester has come to an end I look back that, I survive even though my outcome is not that satisfying however, at least I learn some new techniques. In this case, I won't give up and i will keep on trying and willing to learn new things.

Findings:
I learnt that we all who are learning new things especially using the software that we never touched should be guided so that students will not get lost. At least we were given inspiration to work hard at the same time we will not feel not being left out. As I am still learning like everyone does, we need to be open to any suggestion, opinion, criticism and above all learn from the mistake that we did. Never stop trying even though it frustrated you to figure out and learn new things mostly on our own.
