Progress
Duration: Four weeks
Week 1
I grouped with Grace, She-Qi, Nathaniel and Zhong Yang. We created a WhatsApp and Discord group for discussion. In this week, we just had a quick discussion which informed us to do our own empathy first and think some ideas about the country that we dreamed and wanted.
Week 2
We compiled our empathy in the shared Canva board which was decided by us. We had meetings again together and we drafted out all the ideas that we wanted then we finalised them. After finalising all the characteristics of our country, tasks were distinguished to each of us and mine one is the "Custom" page. All the tasks were in the Define only. So, everyone did their tasks individually then we also did some improvements after receiving some suggestions from Mr Paul.
Week 3
We drew our own map and flag first then showed them in the meetings. Then, we chose the three best of map and flag for the ideation and annotate every elements with the reasons. In the Prototype, Natheniel and I will did the flag and I had meeting with him then created the flag. Luckily, everyone was approved our artwork so we no need to redo it. Grace did the final map and She-Qi did all the improvement s such as resizing, arrangement and so forth which were required by Mr Paul.
Week 4
We finished our work and showed it in tutorials. Mr Paul gave some advices too and we did our final touch up before submitting the work. This assignment was officially completed!
Our Final Outcome !!!
Reflection
This was the first time that I used Canva and I did it! For me, the colouring in Canva was way more attractive compared to the other platforms but its not convenience. But, I learnt it so its okay now! This assignment was one of the assignments that I love the most because I had a dream to create my own country when I was a kid. And now I made it ! I learnt to communicate to others because we had some miscommunications at the beginning and we settled the problems too. Every members in this group were very creative and had many own points. I also learnt to combine all of the points as one. Besides, I also learnt to make the presentation board look unpack and neat and a beautiful products were produced!
