3rd Assignment
For the 3rd assignment, a refinement of assignment 2 has been done. An even detail outline of country is done. An enhancement of country map, coat of arms, country's infographic and artwork of country is completed in this assignment.
Task 1
In task 1, I am required to refine the original map from task 3 (assignment 2). I remained the elements from the original map and added extra components into the refined map. A detail explanation of refinement is written at the 4th slide.
Task 2
In task 2, I am required to deign a coat of arm representing my country. The main ideas and elements are extracted from the country flag combining it together with the most preferable placing to produce the coat of arms. A total of 6 ideation is produced and only 1 will be finalized.
Task 3
For task 3, a country's infographic is created. Some of the main country's information is included for in order to give other people a better reference about this country. Additional info: the background picture is the mining hills of Utopia which produces Vibranium as the country's main highlight.
Task 4
In task 4, I had to come out with an artwork that portrays my country, People's Republic of Utopia. This artwork is made out from the history of Utopia which is explained in slide 2. This piece of artwork is the 5th and final draft that I attempted which I sense that this best represents Utopia.
Task 5
In the final task, I am required to present the final outcome that I had done for the past 4 task in this assignment. Here I present the final country's map, country's coat of arms, country's infographic and country's artwork.
Reflection
At first, I felt very lost in task 1 (refinement of country map) because I think that my previous map was good enough and I have no idea what to improve. After having some suggestions by Mr. Akmal and Ms. Reene, then I only started to have a few ideas how to refine it. I did some research on other country's coat of arms to get some inspiration and came out with a few samples. The artwork was the hardest part for me in this assignment. I had the idea in mind but the way of presentation just did not hit my expectation in the first few drafts. I was anxious as the deadline was coming but I have not come out with a final product. Luckily after a few attempts of changing and modifying, I finally came out with a satisfied end product.

Taylor's Graduate Capabilities (TGC) that I have acquired:
​​
TGC 3: Thinking and Problem Solving Skills
I have learn to think creatively and critically in this assignment. ​Basically in every task, I am required to think of new elements and way of presentation of my outcome. All the task requires me to think creatively and critically to turn out a better product especially the artwork. It requires great mental effort for me as I have to think about the elements that I want to include, colour scheme of the overall picture and how it should place it to make it looks harmony.
​
TGC 6: Interpersonal Skills
I learn to be self-reliant throughout this assignment. As the last assignment was a group assignment, we shared out the task among each other hence, the burden is not that heavy compared to this assignment. For this assignment, I am required to do researches and to sort out all the problem faced all by myself.
