FEEDBACK

Week 5:

Absent

Week 6:

Specific feedback: Mr. Vinod told me to change the text layout, it should not be done in "islands of text" but rather organized based on margins. He advised to play with text size and to not be afraid to make it smaller.

Week 7:

Specific feedback: Mr. Vinod advised to just keep the layout consistent throughout each page, and to not be too timid to enlarge the illustrations as needed.

REFLECTIONS

Observations

I noticed that I prefered my book to have a more simple approach rather than a complicated design with too many lavish illustrations. I wanted to keep it simple and clean.

Experiences

I felt that I was still uncertain whether my decisions were acceptable. Regardless, I tried to go along with what I already had as best as I can.

Findings

I found that I was unsure of the layout system that was suggested regarding the white background text box above the illustrations. Though I tried to go along with it.
