Personal Reflection

New Knowledge Learnt:

I have learnt that there are many ways to design a building, and when doing so, we have to take note of the target audience, so that the difficulties faced by the target audience can be countered. I have also acquired knowledge in the form of how to use different softwares, such as InDesign, Photoshop as well as some other features of google Sketchup.

Difficulties Encountered:

When trying to figure out ideas for the building, I could come up with the ideas, but they never seemed good enough. Therefore I had some difficulty coming up with the final idea for the building, and this cut into the amount of time i had to complete the project.

Also, there was some technical difficulties such as the lag, and also I did not really know how to use Google Sketchup very well.

I overcame these difficulties by:

For the first problem, I was running out of time and used the previous ideas as drafts, and tried evaluate the rest of the ideas, so that I could tell which was a better idea. Also, I had to take into consideration the type of shops that would be in the shopping center, due to the other shops in the area.

As for the second problem, I did not really overcome it in terms of the lag, but for the lack of my own skills in the sketchup program, I asked for help from my friends as well as looked at tutorials on the internet.
