The Beauty Inside is a graphic novel about insecurity. In this graphic novel story, I will tell about insecurity because in my opinion there are still many people out there who often feel insecure, through this graphic novel I want to tell them that they are not alone, there are many other people who may feel the same way but maybe there are some who can rise from their insecurities and I hope by my graphic novel I can make the readers more confident and I hope I can inspire them to not be insecure by their weaknesses. there are three stories about three different people, and it talks about their insecurity. The reason I chose the topic of "insecurity" is actually that it all started with me, who currently feels very insecure about my physique. As time goes by, I can deal with my insecurity, and from this project, I have a goal: I want to inspire others through the graphic novels that I make. I think a graphic novel is the right thing to do to hone my drawing and writing skills because it's a combination of drawing and stories. Doing this project helped me a lot in applying my drawing skills, and besides that, my personal project has allowed me to try new things, mainly graphic design and drawing.

Product Success Criteria
✧ Reflection ✧
By doing this project it helps me to hone my graphic designing skill and my writing skill because this project is a graphic novel project so I have to write a lot and use my imagination and creativity to make my product. Doing this project helps me understand more about insecurity and the way other people cope with it.
When I do my project which is making a graphic novel about Insecurity, I ask for other people's experiences so I can get inspiration and that makes me more open-minded about other people's perspectives or points of view on insecurity and I can better understand that the way people deal with their insecurity is different. Other than being more open-minded I feel I'm becoming more reflective because when I do my personal project I understand my strengths and weaknesses and just reflect more on myself, especially the topic that I chose is insecurity, I am more grateful to myself.
