Reflection

Infographic poster making was a very mind-wrecking process. Convey written information in visual format is not easy. It is telling a story with only picture like a video except that it is static. I also learnt too focus on the main idea and connect other ideas to make it into one whole picture. In order to do this, I have to look at things with different perspective that are usually ignored.

Making a video for first time in my life was a rather challenging experience. Although I did plan and discuss about the video with my group members, it was still lacking, mainly because we did not get a deeper insight of the requirement in the brief. We did not extract the information and innovate it into something different because I didn't have the courage to take the risk. I learnt that the brief is only the basic guidelines and in order to stand out, we have to learn to take the risk. Although it is more dangerous and it is a die-or-live situation, taking risk may take you further than you can reached.
