REFLECTION

Experience
Throughout 13 weeks of this module, I have learned a lot from the case studies, doing campaign proposals and designing my touchpoints. I have also gotten really helpful feedbacks from both my lecturer and my peers during consultation, and I have also learned new things by looking at their works too. It was also very fun and fresh to do city branding, because most of the time we do a lot more branding for products. While doing my research on the various city brandings, I also got to know more about their creative direction which elevates my impression of the city. Overall, this module has been a good experience and exposure for learning how to brand something, a city, a product, etc. 

Observation
One of the many things that I have learned from this module is definitely to be more analytical and decide whether or not the designs are suitable to be used in the touchpoints. For instance, in social media posts, we have to take into consideration the size of the posts when shown on a mobile phone. It cannot be too informative and the font size should be legible enough. It should also have a good amount of negative space so that viewers are not overwhelmed with information. The same goes to website as well. When I first started on it, I have designed my layouts a little too big without realising it and had to make further amendments later on. I think these are the things that we have to consider for a good user experience.

Findings
For this module, I have definitely applied my knowledge from Brand Corporate Identity, which was why it was easier to do the brand profile for the campaign proposal. Even when doing the collaterals for BCI, I think it was a bit of challenge as we had to create multiple collaterals for the brand. However, coming into this module where we had to do a lot more touchpoints and much more in depth, it was no doubt more challenging. Although there were a few struggles here and there, I am relieved that I managed to complete more than what I had planned for my touchpoints. I am also happy that I got to try a different design concept this time, as compared to what I am usually comfortable with. By testing my limits, I think I managed to learn more about my strengths and weaknesses in designing.
