REFLECTION

I found this module extremely beneficial to me. I learned the basics of illustrators and discovered many interesting features the application offers. Though there were some rocky paths along, I grew more independent in learning new techniques myself and also with a help of my friends. Sharing our works and ideas as well as feedbacks really helped me in improving. Not only that, I realised how much work and thought were put in the process of designing an animation. It was truly the hardest task for this module as I wasn't familiar with After Effects. In addition, I also learned how to draw using the pen tool and create my own type, which could also help in my designs in the future. I would say that Illustrator is an essential application to all who are interested in design as it starts from having the most basic tools to also advanced tools for when. you become more familiar with it.
