REFLECTION

Experience: This module had some of the most fun tasks so far and I very much enjoyed almost all of them. Designing labels and packagings while applying them physically and building boxes were a lot of fun and enjoyable. I had time management issues with other modules so at the final weeks it was tough to manage and put a lot of effort into every assignment although I wanted to. But still I feel like I managed pretty well. 

Observations: Mr.Shamsul was very helpful and always available for feedbacks and help. He gave good feedback and suggestions and always helped with every task. I very much appreciate his help during the tasks.

Findings: I found some very interesting understandings on applying designs into physical use such as products, packaging and merchandise. When I did the research I came across so many similar designs. There are so many reasons for every element, colour and style. However I found lots of gaps for creativity as well. I saw so many brands going after the same styles without much creative diversions. I feel like market audience is changing and old school designs ad styles need to be up to date with new generations.
