REFLECTION

Experience: This module is overall an enriching experience for me, it provided me with an opportunity to delve into the design within the context of publishing.  The tasks allowed me to explore the intersection of creativity and functionality and learned to design effective layout content communication. 

Observations: I found the importance of visual elements in conveying messages effectively. From selecting fonts and colours to designing layouts that enhance readability, every aspect plays a crucial role in creating a workable and concise design.

Findings: I have learned that establishing and maintaining consistency in using colours, typography, layout or imagery is a crucial part of publishing design, a cohesive visual helps in building brand recognition. I also learned that accessibility is important, like selecting readable fonts, providing sufficient contrast, and ensuring the design is navigable for individuals.
