REFLECTION

The lectures and tutorial are really interesting and I enjoyed these classes. I have learned a lot of new skills of AE from Mr. Shamsul class as well as the flip topics also help me to learn how to create a good infographic artwork. Spreading the topics for different groups to present are good because everyone has to do research on their topic and this could help them to memorize what have they learned. I think most of the group have did a great job of explaining the topic. All the topics are really helpful and gave me a better understanding on how to break the story into pieces and deliver to audience through an artwork. I hope all these can help to improve my future design ability.
