4.REFLECTION

This assignment uses Adobe illustratir for design, which is a process of further study and proficiency in the use of software. However, there will still be many mistakes due to unproficiency and inexperience. Nevertheless, Mr. Li provided many suggestions, which enabled me to successfully and perfectly meet the requirements.

I like this assignment very much. I will study as many related design works as possible to constantly modify and improve my assignment. Through studying the materials provided, I will carry out my own design to make the texture, pattern, foreground and rear scene more three-dimensional.
