3. Social Justice Investigation

The social justice my group is focusing is on both the sidewalks in Taiwan and the visually impaired, since the visually impaired might encounter unfinished walkways and they could trip if there's no tactile pavements and barriers. There's a lot of unfinished sidewalks in Taiwan to this day.

4. Graphic Design Growth

At first i didn't care much about the visually impaired and sidewalks, but after 7 weeks, I realized that these social justice needs to be taken cared for. The most important thing i've learned about graphic design is that it is used in a lot of magazines and books, and it has helped my project on creating a magazine about our social justice

Final reflection:

I have worked on the community partner section of the magazine. My contribution to it was getting information by interviewing them. Some specific feedback I got was that my tangible design was a bit small, so I made the design bigger and more focused on the embossing. Compared to my past working habits, I have learned to focus on one thing that I am good at, and I have grown to trust my teammates more because of their determination on doing the PBL. One thing I still need to improve in PBL is the lack of creativity. My plan for improvement is to think like Albert Einstein. The thing that surprised me the most is that there are not many guide dogs in Taiwan, one misconception is that I thought the white cane only has one variant. People still ignore about the unfinished sidewalks in Taipei, since it’s a terrifying place for the visually impaired , the investigation  change the way I think because the visually impaired needs to be treated well. My design has improved over time, and the technique I used for the design is embossing, the design helps by giving them a sense of touch, and the design decision I am most proud of is the embossing that because it is a fun way to play with.
