Reflection
After finally completing the writing part of the paper we were able to do what I like which is design. After eight weeks I was finally able to relax and do what I enjoy, I got a chance to look at several unique and journal designs and tried coming up with one for mine. Because my design was about body diversity, I decided to transform the journal design to look like an anatomical book.
As this part of the designing process was similar to what we learned in interactive design I had fun designing a couple of pages. I had to keep in mind the readability of the paper and also went for a more minimal look with few designs.
This week we continued working on our publication, although I was a bit behind on schedule due to the large number of pages I had to design, I had fun trying to come up with creative ways to display the information.
While we waited to get our draft dissertation back I was able to finish my design and was happy with the layout. There was a few tweaking I had to do before the final submission but over I was content with the work I produced.
