Sketch Among the three sketches I created in Task 2, I chose Sketch 1 to further develop into a complete artwork. Before starting the final drawing, I created another sketch using reference photos so that I could trace the basic forms. I then made adjustments to the traced artwork to better fit my composition. Next, I continued developing the illustration by adding each element layer by layer. This was the first version of my artwork, and I felt th...

I will also choose a design work that interests me, explain why I chose it, and identify the design principles used. Describe design principle: Gestalt theory Gestalt theory is about how people naturally see and understand what they look at. Instead of noticing each part separately, we usually see the whole picture first. Our brain groups things in certain ways, including: a. Principle of Similarity     Things that look alike are seen as related.  https://pin.it/2XYF5XfXu b. Principle of Proximity     Things that are close together are seen as belonging together. https://www.nytimes.com/international/ c. Principle of Closure     Our mind fills in missing parts to see a complete shap...

The main adjustments I had to make were reducing the length and reworking the structure, including all visuals and references. I focused on selecting only the most essential content while maintaining the core message and argument of my research. Overall, I made sure to compress the material without compromising clarity.

As a result, I was asked to revise my paper. While I had used an AI tool to help polish some of my paragraphs, the ideas and content were entirely my own. I reviewed the sections that were flagged as AI written and rephrased them again. It was a bit frustrating at first, but the experience taught me the importance of expressing ideas in my own words and being more mindful of how I use assistance tools.

I eventually found a tutorial that really helped me through the process. It took some time to build and get it working across all screens, but I’m glad I was able to implement it successfully. I had been stuck on this part for a while, so it felt great to finally get it working.
