Reflection: My learning in this course increased 100%, it made me understand the importance between concept, form and structure in design. I made progress in achieving course objectives and it help me to think independently about subject matters. This course gave me a different approach as a designer. It made me a better thinker and it challenged my ability to create forms that are well structured and visually dynamic.
