We use Canva to do all the layout planning for our final scrapbook, edit photos by using Photoshop/Lightroom, drawing cover illustrations by using illustration software. 

Layout:
Figure 1.3: Preliminary layout planning on Canva, week 6
Our first attempt of layout planning on Canva, later we realised a book is supposed to be double page layout, so we change the layout to double page. 

Using the elements from Canva as decorations, keywords: Scrapbook, ripped paper, washi tapes, ransom letters...

Well done.

REFLECTION

I enjoy doing the final layout for our scrapbook, especially since scrapbook is something that you can freely play around based on our creativity, which makes the process even more enjoyable. I am also glad to be in a group with a bunch of creative and experienced seniors (I am in sem 1.5, most of them are in their 3.5), because of these projects, I was able to learn quite many things from them. It also feels quite magical to see our experiences and collected data from Tokyo end up being compiled into a beautiful scrapbook, thanks to the help and cooperation between groupmates, also our group leader for guiding us :)
