REFLECTION

Experience

Character design is an interesting module and fun, in this character design is a very challenging and struggle module. I do research many for the design and its help me a lot and I start draft out by doing reference from my research. Next, we need to think our character is most struggle step we need to think what our character is need to look like?, What power we need to design?, How is it look like?, How the outfit is need to look like? and many question we need to think.

Observation

The ability to complete tasks with few constraints can keep things interesting, but too much freedom can also be a hidden challenge. When creating outfit and the weapons we need to think what design is most suitable for our character, but I am enjoyed it, at the same time I afraid to keep rest it.

Findings

In this assignment, I found that the power we am going to choose is important because my we need to draw out the power and the weapon of the power and the outfit that match to the power. I found that they didn't seem to be what I imagined. But I'm very enjoyed this assignment.
