FEEDBACK

Week 01

(27/08/2019)

We got no feedback for the first week.

Week 02

(03/09/2019)

Mr Vinod told me that we can actually copy from online or write the 3000 words by ourselves, if not it will take a lot of times for us to write the content.

Week 03

(10/09/2019)

There are no feedback for the exercises, only for the project.

Week 04

(17/09/2019)

There are no feedback for the exercises, only for the project.



REFLECTIONS

EXPERIENCES

Week 01

(27/08/2019)

The first week was kind of chill because Mr Vinod just brief us about the module and he keep it simple.

Week 02

(03/09/2019)

The second class also quite relax and Mr Vinod played some music for us while we having the class.

Week 03

(10/09/2019)

I quite piss in this week because I only know that we can copy someone book content for our project.

Week 04

(17/09/2019)

This week is quite tough for me because we have to finish 16 visuals by next week.

Week 05 

(24/09/2019)

I am tired but at the same time, I am kind of excited and worry at the same time because we going to create the layout for our book.

OBSERVATION

Week 01

(27/08/2019)

Publishing book is interesting because I always wonder how the author publish their book and the process of it. Now I have chances to know it by myself.

Week 02

(03/09/2019)

Listening music while doing our exercise is quite relax because we didn't have to think about other and we just did what we are doing right now.

Week 03

(10/09/2019)

I realised that we can actually copy someone book instead of writing by our own but I still want write it by myself because I think it will be part of my learning part.

Week 04

(17/09/2019)

It is quite tough because I still thinking what visuals should I draw to suit my book.

Week 05

(24/09/2019)

I am tired because I am working on my visual for few days before the class. Not only that, I found some of the layout references which I think it is nice, so I can't wait the use it on my book layout.

FINDING

Week 01

(27/08/2019)

After Mr Vinod explained about the module, I found out that book publishing is quite interesting and I can't wait the see my final outcome.

Week 02

(03/09/2019)

Exercise are really important sometimes because it will effect our project while we doing.

Week 03 

(10/09/2019)

I found out that we have to ask if there are any questions because if we don't ask, it will end up doing somethings extra in the class.

Week 04

(17/09/2019)

I realised even eventhough drawing a visuals are taken time but it is worth it because it will be part our book.

Week 05

(24/09/2019)

I found out that the type of references that we looking of the visuals are important in some where because it can let me imagine the outcome of the visuals.Not only that, I realised that layout are important than everything because if the layout of the book are messy it won't catch audience attention.
