The blog posting documents the entirety of the final design project.


From the 7th of June to the 10th of August, there were 44 posts.


Each step in the project was posted in the form of a post, and looking back at them now, it is good to be able to make a summary and reflect on the content. I loved the way I documented every show, every exhibition, every change of idea.


Project Conclusion and Reflection.


I am satisfied and serious about my performance in the independent project. From the beginning of the project last semester, to the completion of the visual part this semester, I have invested a lot of time and effort to progress and improve the project little by little. This whole process was also documented and posted in my Blog, showing how I developed my experiments.

From the beginning when I had no idea, to the middle of the project when I tried three or four different visuals, to the end when I finally found the "water flow" as my entry point. Each stage was a new understanding of the project and a deeper exploration, which I think was very necessary and helped me a lot. Of course there was feedback from the tutors and fellow students at each stage and I didn't miss any of the course activities, thus gaining more experience.

The project often lapsed into self-doubt and faced many difficulties, but I faced them bravely and overcame them, which was a valuable experience for me.


Great challenges and experimentation

The independent project was a huge challenge for me and I tried visions that I had never tried before. I am very passionate about 3D art and have done a lot of creative practice, an area in which I am better at, but I decided to take a new approach, a new vision, a new idea. When I stepped out of my comfort zone, I found that design happens in all angles of life and I noticed every detail of life and

discovered many new things and gained new feelings.

Facing challenges is an important part of my independent learning, and I believe that this is a necessary quality for a designer who can only develop if he or she meets them.


Anxiety and stress.

After second semester, I had some anxiety and stress and got caught up in the emotion of losing marks. After reflecting on this, I broke away from the anxiety because I have always believed that design is something to be enjoyed. I love graphic design as a profession and I dream of becoming a great designer. With a clear goal and plan, I quickly jumped into researching independent projects.

As project developed step by step, I continued to enjoy the joy that design brought to me.Year at the University of Edinburgh.

This year has been like a dream and I am grateful that I was able to study at Edinburgh University. This experience has been an important part of my life, both studying and living on my own. I love the city of Edinburgh and I love the University of Edinburgh. I believe I will never forget this wonderful memory.


Thanks.

Finally, I am grateful to all my tutors and fellow students, I am lucky to have been able to study, live and progress with all of you. I am very grateful to my family for their support and encouragement, allowing me to be brave and pursue what I want without worrying.

Say to myself: Well done! Keep up the good work!
