Feedback:

Week 6: 

-  The layout needs some adjustments.

-  The font I've used is not suitable for readers, recommended for better and professional fonts such as Baskerville.

-  The title on the right page shouldn't tilt and should have more consistent space.

Week 7:

                                                        Code Typography (With Grid)

                                                       Code Typography (Without Grid)

- Characters should not exceed 50 words or more.

- The title is creative overall. 

- Pay attention to the text formatting consistency.

- That said, I decided to use the article about Bauhaus as my final submission.

Week 8: 

Independent Learning Week

Reflection: 

        To summarize, this project is the combination of what we've learnt in project 1. What I've learnt at the first 5 weeks really applies to the project overall. Sure, I still have a lot to learn, sure, but at the end of the day, whether I exceed the expectations of myself and criteria or not, it's all the same. We learnt something each day with optimism with realisms combined.

Observation: 

    While Facebook is not my ideal platform to submit my assignment and weekly updates, per se, that aside, the idea of posting updates weekly, more or less, is quite motivating. I've learnt that as designers of any kind, we should learn consistency of work and time management.

Findings:

    As I've said, I find myself work each day and set the schedule for myself to work 3 hours per day, no excuses!
