Reflection

• Describe what you did for Deliverable 1, 2, or 4 for this module. For deliverable 2, I did mood boards and rough sketches. And selected four potential directions from the rough sketch to make a refined sketch, which included separate sketches that I made for the expected actions.
  

• Describe the changes you made to the visual design for your product and why. Currently I haven't made any changes to the visual system, it will remain as it is. But I will later work on deliverables 2 and 3 and make any necessary changes to help the visual system work better in each deliverable.
  

• Describe how you might add visual interest to the deliverables. As far as Deliverable 1 I've done, I think I could do a little more visual interest for the magazine. For example, my visual elements are several different geometric shapes that I can use to guide the viewer through the pages of the magazine. Also, I can add more negative space and breathing pages for the magazine. For deliverable 2, which is the motion graphics ad, I will mainly use a combination of color palettes, geometric visual elements, and pet images to add visual interest. Especially cute pet pictures can attract many users. I will re-edit the original image to make the pet image consistent with the visual system.

• Describe anything new or interesting you learned in this process. In the process I revisited deliverable 1 done in GR810. The three magazines follow the visual system, and the whole is unified. But I found that in the intense process of the last semester, deliverable 1 still has a lot of room for improvement. I'm glad I still have the opportunity to continue revising and refining. In addition, the review of deliverable 1 can also better help me design deliverable 2.
