Reflection of COMM 1043 Journey:

Finally, it’s near the end of the course journey. It’s the time to conclude. At the start, I thought that this course is just about the design, nothing is difficult. However, this is not the case. From the course, I learnt a lot of theories and principles that never touch on before. Now, coming to the end of the course, I would like to say, I have gathered a lot of knowledge from COMM 1043 and this have increase my understanding in the field of publication and design.

I have learnt before designing any document, audience, purpose and context are need to clarify to have effective communication. Besides, I learnt the composition of salience, framing and layout that can enhance the readability of audience. (Kress& van Leeuwen, 2006)Furthermore, from Schriver (1997), I learnt image and text are equally important in convey message to audience and Diana Reep(2006) teach me design features, principles and format elements that need to take into the account when designing.

In conclusion, this course has enriched my knowledge and brought an unforgettable memory to my life.
