5.0 REFLECTION

While I think that IVN as a module could use some improvement (i.e. mainly better coordination for the final project and better time allocation for each project), my learning journey has been not bad. I learned how to use Illustrator and what makes an illustration interesting. We were taught the skills needed to complete each assignment along with tips on how to use Illustrator.

It's been a decent ride. 6/10 experience.
