Introduction In this final exercise, we are suppose to design and make a complete book cover. The book cover should be related to all the past exercises and projects, and it must be creatively designed. The book cover should be as real as possible and the cover page should be a montage.

Reflection
At first I thought I was in trouble because I didn't know how to use any photo editing programs except for microsoft powerpoint. But then I figured that I can only do a simple montage since I only use powerpoint. But anyhow I managed to pull it off and this is what I came up with. What I did was just combine different pictures together to form a montage that is related to both the natural and built environment. So from this, I have learnt to do simple editing using powerpoint which I don't normally do.

'Capturing' PUBLIC SPACES

The objective of this exercise is to investigate public spaces. In order to do that, I have to do a bit of research about what are public spaces and its function, then plan the journey to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Afterwards, I would have to head down to KL to take photos and analyse the public spaces there and record my findings.

REFLECTION
At the end of this exercise, it was a fun experience to just wander around in KL, not to mention taking lots of pictures. We used the Light Rail Transit (LRT) to get to KLCC which was quite a rare opportunity for me. Other than that, I also made friends with my course mates which I didn't really hang out with. Overall, it is a very nice experience, just chilling at KL and taking the time to look at the public spaces and even the things I had never knew was there. This can really help me to prepare and anticipate what is coming in the construction field.

SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP IN NATURE
This exercise requires me to do some research about symbiosis. But since I already covered this topic during high school, it will be must easier to find information since i still can recall some of the points, such as commensalism, parasitism and mutualism.


REFLECTION
Through this exercise I've learnt to do independent research, note sketching and also improve my drawing skills. From this exercise, I've learnt to do my research online which I never really did before. I also learnt to pinpoint the important key words and facts and record it properly. This exercise is about symbiotic relationships - mutualism, commensalism and parasitism. That means I definitely learnt about how living things relate to one another and supports each other.

The Journal Exercise 01
Conservation and Restoration ecology

REFLECTION
Through this exercise, I've learnt to do self research, how to extract information and turn it to information graphics. Okay, so maybe I haven't learnt to note sketch, but I hope to get better in the next few exercise. In terms of the topic, I learnt that New Zealand is the one of the most conservative country in the world, in terms of conservation of wildlife. I also hope to be more initiative and detailed in my research and not just to mash up any information I get.
