Reflections

Q. How did you come up with your idea for the redesign? Did you sketch it out or just picture it in your mind?

A. The plan for the redesign came to me very quickly and it happened in a dream… or a sudden thought of inspiration which ever sounds better. This idea was to move the scene of the ad to that of a pub.

Q. What challenges did you face as your began the essay? How did you overcome those challenges?

Q. What learning outcomes did you walk away with? What concepts do you feel like you have a greater understanding of?

Q. If you were to get a second chance at writing this essay, what would you do differently?

A. I would constantly save my word document because I wouldn’t want all that work to be deleted again.
