This week we don't have class because it was Raya but we still need to work on it. I continued to work on the layout for the ebook.
10/06/19 (Week 11)
This week, before I start adding the animation for the text, I decided to change my book cover
after I showed to Mr. Vinod the feedback was the lines that I put on the cover is just too much so I decided to change it.
I fixed the layout and the leading as well as the kerning on some pages and also added the button for my ebook after that I need to add the animation to make it more attractive to the readers
Adding animation (progress)
Ebook- Mobile ( first attempt)
17/06/19 (Week 12)
With the feedback received, I continued to work on the leading and kerning and also the letter spacing because I use justification text to all my paragraph so I have to change the justification settings to make the spacing looks better.

FEEDBACK
21/05/19 (Week 8)
Specific Feedback: for my animation that I've done, Mr. Vinod tell me to make it more animation, and I have to decide which is my primary and secondary animation, also Mr. Vinod suggested me to use Adobe after effect rather than photoshop.
27/05/19 (Week 9)
Specific feedback : For my book, I need to fix the gap between the words and the letter spacing, the typeface for my book page should be the same typeface from the content as well as the size, There are some pages that I don't need to put page number especially if the pages full illustration, I should use emdash for the quotation.
10/06/19 (Week 11)
Specific Feedback: Mr.Vinod told me I have to change the document on the blog become a public not private. For my E-book Mr. Vinod told me that my animation is really there and good because I made depth for the illustration animation. However, I don't have to make all the animation keeps looping because sometimes it can distract the reader while their reading the book, last but not least I have to change the text font size, follow my grid system, and also I need to focus on my letter spacing.
17/06/19 (Week 12)
General Feedback: we need to check the font size for the Phone size and we need to increase the font size so it's readable. Specific Feedback: for my ebook all the illustration is good. However, I need to change my book cover animation because it's too much after I changed it. next, I need to fix the leading paragraph because it's too tight. Mr. Vinod also said for my book cover try to add color rather than just a white color because its too plan and make the illustration more bigger as well as the placement of the text for the publisher name too close with the writer name, so Mr. Vinod helps me to get the nice layout After I fixed it Mr. Vinod says that my leading for the phone size too tight so need to increase it and also the letter spacing, also the size for the imprint is too small.
24/06/19 (Week 13)
General Feedback: For the final submission on the blog, Mr. Vinod gave us an example of one of our senior's blog for us to follow the format. Specific Feedback: I need to fix the letter spacing for the publishing, reference on content, the subtext font size too small, some of the pages I need to fix the line length of the text, alignment and also link the references, other than that is okay.

REFLECTION
EXPERIENCE
21/05/19 (Week 8)
This week I experienced to change my visual illustration from the static to animation. I started to finish some of the illustrations and ask for feedback first.
27/05/19 (Week 9)
After feedback for my book, I got to learn to fix the letter spacing because the gap between letters is either too much to too tight and also I experience how to fix the layout for my book.
10/06/19 (Week 11)
I got to experience with adobe after effects to animate my illustration to make it more interesting and try to figure out how to make a depth on it. for my book cover because I don't feel the first design good enough so I decided to redesign it.
17/06/19 (Week 12)
after finishing the ebook for desktop now I got to experience how to design e-book for mobile phone, where the layout, font size, letter spacing and all are totally different.
24/06/19 (Week 13)
This week, I finished my ebook for desktop and mobile phone, however, I still need to work on my leading and kerning.
OBSERVATION
21/05/19 (Week 8)
I observed that my animation is too simple and basic and also it takes time for me to get the idea how am I gonna to do the animation.
27/05/19 (Week 9)
I observed that using justification text is not as easy as it is. I need to set it manually using the justification setting in Adobe Indesign to make it readable and make the letter spacing in between looks nicer.
10/06/19 (Week 11)
I realized using After effects are easier and faster to do the animation especially for creating the depth rather than using Photoshop because I need to do it one by one.
17/06/19 (Week 12)
for designing the book for mobile I observed that there's so much difference between designing the e-book for desktop and mobile especially the font size and also the formatting/layout so I have to redesign it but the look must be consistent.
FINDINGS
21/05/19 (Week 8)
I found myself was struggling to do animation because my illustration is abstract collages image so I what I did for the animation is too simple.
27/05/19 (Week 9)
I found it really hard to fix the gap using justification text because if I did something wrong with one of the sentence it can mess up the whole thing so I need to be really careful.
10/06/19 (Week 11)
I found that I can do much better works after feedback because I have a clearer idea for the whole thing and do so much better than the first attempt.
17/06/19 (Week 12)
I found that's important to test the size of the phone mobile because of the font size for the mobile e-book is totally different, this could help me to find the exact font size for my mobile e-book.
24/06/19 (Week 13)
I found this subject is interesting and fun but then it's not easy to finish it where I was really blurred and struggle but then by looking at the references and feedback I can finish it and do better.
