Final reflection:

Over these seven weeks, it has been a challenge for me; I have struggled on idea exploration most of the times. But overall, I managed to complete it. 

Throughout the course, I learned about the different design principles, including balance, contrast, emphasis, proportion, rhythm, and unity. I also learned how to apply these principles in my designs. One of the key takeaways from this subject is the importance of considering the audience and purpose of a design. Understanding the needs, preferences, and expectations of the audience can help to create designs that are effective and engaging. It's also important to keep in mind the purpose of the design and ensure that it aligns with the objectives and goals of the project. Design principles are an essential aspect of the design process, and I look forward to continuing to apply them in my work.

Regarding the one most important lesson I've learned are time management because I tend to procrastinate a lot but managed to finish my assignments on time. For that matter, I am going to fix my schedule and arrange my time accordingly. I also have a struggled using editing software's but i managed to learn through video lessons provided and also from YouTube. No matter it is quite challenging for me, I'm still trying my best to get used to the shortcuts and ways to use different software's for editing on my next design.

However, some of the enjoyable parts of the module include learning how to create aesthetically pleasing designs, gaining an understanding of how to use design principles to effectively communicate ideas and messages, and having the opportunity to apply their newly learned skills to real-world projects. Lastly, I have found the creative process of designing to be rewarding and enjoyable, as it allows them to express themselves and bring their ideas to life through visual media.
