REFLECTION

Experience
This task was a great leap of understanding the ways of making a book. I very enjoyed the book making, the trial and errors. But when it comes to printing, it was satisfying to get everything you did printed into its final form. Trying out the different layouts as I wanted to do modular layouts was fun. Like puzzle pieces, you need to arrange it in a correct possible for it to work.

Observations
All the trial and errors was fun, trying to figure out the right way to do modular layouts. Understanding the comments Mr. Vinod gave me helped very much in the process. Because I wanted to fit the aesthetic of the illustrations with the layouts. Gist of the book was about displacement so I wanted to emphasis that further in the grid layouts. 

Findings
I find that if one piece of chunk of texts wasn't aligned, I had to rearrange everything from the start. It was quite frustrating but when figuring out which texts goes where, it was satisfying.
