ReflectionExperience: This was my most anxious module. I have no drawing background and I haven't tried any software beforehand. Therefore, when I first start the class I had no idea of what's going to happened. The class starts with an introduction to what we would be learning. Up to that point I knew that I was at disadvantage in this class. There were a lot of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop involved.

Observation: I had a hard time on my first exercise. I observe that I didn't know where to start nor how. My first excercise was straight away vormator. With my limited adobe knowledge I was confused and frustrated at myself. Especially vormator is using irregular shapes and limited things to do with it. It felt like an advance level experience. Therefore, I did a simple character which I don't think my lecturer liked. It was an unmotivated start. However, after that, we get another advance excercise of landscape vector. II was able to create a decent landscape because it was easier than creating character. I feel like landscape would be much more general than designing a character would be.

Findings: I find some of the excercises was not for introduction but for people that already had background experience in this category. Although, I find myself creating amazing creation that I haven't done before. I was able to create my own landscape, character and even my own graphic comic. It was a hard journey but I do find this module quite fun.
