For the logo design project, I think that I could have borrowed our home computer which can run Affinity from my parents and my brother who often use it.  For the project pitch, people told us to not use something stereotypical, although when we were making the slides we didn't think that it was, we will still try our best to take those parts out.  For me, the project pitches remind me of the presentations that I did last semester in PBL class, those presentations were about Taiwanese indigenous rights, we had to make game plans about indigenous rights, at the time, we also had to make project pitches for the games.  Comparing these two project pitches, I am now better at presentation skills and splitting work between group mates.  Although I have improve, I think that I still need to work on my presentation skills, I also need my volume to be more louder, so other classmates can understand me.  I plan to improve my presentation and speaking abilities by looking at more political leader's speeches and analyzing them.  One part of the magazine that I worked on was the layout, I drew it on paper, then my group mates made it digital.  We received feedbacks addressing the fonts and the placement of objects like text and pictures, we responded by fixing those issues and improving the quality of the photos.  This work connects to work from my PBL project last semester because when we were making our posters last semester, we also had some issues with the layout, we fixed those issues by reducing the amount of words and increasing the amount and placement of pictures.  Compared to my past working habits, I now don't just do random assignments that I want to do, I now plan the time that I would need to take to finish each assignments, and choose them based on the time needed.  This semester, I have also learned how to work better with different group members and try my best to help them finish the tasks that the leader assigns to me to finish before a deadline.  One thing that I still need to do better for PBL is time management because this semester I have been overwhelmed by the amount of work many times, and I don't want that to happen again, especially when I am working in a group.  I plan to keep trying to work quickly and effectively at the same time to finish all of my work on time and get good grades for all of those works.

Our social issue is the rights of the migrant workers living in Taiwan.  They are often not protected by the law, or not treated as equally as Taiwanese local workers.  These migrant workers often come from places in Southeast Asia, they often come because of financial issues, or social issues, some of them still have family in their home country, so they need as much money from their work as possible.  The thing that surprised me the most during the research was that a lot of migrant workers were bonded to individual employers that used contracts, and that the law used to not protect them from harsh working conditions until a recent government intervention that included them into the LSA law.  Before this project, I thought that migrant workers were contracted by the government, that is why I was surprised that they were actually bonded to individual employers through contracts.  Some people might not know the hardships that these migrant workers are going through, such as low payment, terrible living and working conditions, or overwork.  All of this research led me to become more concern about this issue, and made me more active in advocating for these migrant workers.

When I think of graphic design, I think of making something digitally like a logo, or a brand name.  I have always liked this subject because I want to work in art and design in the future.  My design skills improved over the course of this semester through actively designing the logo, tangible design, process poster layout, and magazine layout.  I think that the single most dominant principles of design in these projects are emphasis, contrast, and balance.  They appear in most of my designs for our group, Key Rights.  I used graphic design to communicate these social justice issues to people by making designs that can spread awareness to people for the exhibition, I do this by making my designs remind people of social justice and human rights.  The designs that I am most proud of are the logo and tangible design because those projects were done completely by me, with some feedback and ideas from my teammates, those designs show my hard work towards advocacy for migrant rights.
