26/08/19 (Week 1)
This first week, we were introduced to the project that we will be doing and the project we are going to do something that is about sustainable living as an Earthship. Mr. Mike asked all of us to do some research to get to know more about what is Earthships is as well as research about " Build for Tomorrow"
Earthships are predicated upon the idea that there are six human needs which can be addressed through environmentally sustainable building design:[1]
- Energy: Thermal and/or solar heating and cooling, solar and wind electricity
- Garbage Management: Reuse and recycling built into construction and daily living
- Sewage Treatment: Self-contained sewage treatment and water recycling
- Shelter: Building with natural and recycled materials
- Clean Water: Water harvesting and long term storage
- Food: In-home organic food production capability
An Earthship is a type of passive solar home made of natural and recycled materials. Designed and marketed by Earthship Biotecture of Taos, New Mexico, the homes are primarily constructed to work autonomously and are generally made of earth-filled tires, using thermal mass construction to naturally regulate indoor temperature.
Build for Tomorrow, Earthship Malaysia and other projects are part of Wild Asia's Sustainable Buildings Initiative. The initiative enables collaboration between designers, innovators and our understanding of nature and biodiversity, to provide a practical solution in building sustainable communities.
28/08/19 (Week 1)
In the next classes, we are visited by Mr. Ruben to give a lecture on what is an Earthship, what is Build for Tomorrow and also giving an example of how the sustainable house works.

For this project, we were split into groups and this project I'll be working with Jennifer, Nadia, Suzy, and Thooba. We were asked to come out with the idea to share awareness and educate people about Earthships.

23/09/19 & 25/09/19 (Week 5)
We presented our idea to make an e-comic to Mr. Mike and he proposed maybe we went bigger than an e-comic and made an event surrounding that comic hence we started at the beginning of the loveth campaign. So, my group got to discuss more for the next consultation with Mr. Mike.
This week also Mr. Mike asked my group to find a marker, go to the board and try to connect everything.
1.2 Brainstorming
we got to look back and find what we have missed and also we need to categorize it.

REFLECTION
EXPERIENCES
This module let me get experience to create an event concept about awareness. Starting from the brainstorming we missed alot of things where it's not really connected so we have to discuss more to make it related to each other. Which kind of challenge where I and group have to find the way which the best way to teach kids about Earthship. Until we decided to e-comic with a very sketchy style design. I, Nadia and Thooba were really struggling for the design part because we have to keep the consistency of the design as Mr. Mike say to us. It takes time for us to find out but then after so much feedback from Mr. Mike we finally get the way to keep the consistency of the style by adding the comic character into the all graphics side ( Poster, Flyer, Website, etc). Other than that, I got to experiences coloring the E-comic and I learned a lot from Jennifer how to color it so I can contribute on the e-comic side. at the end of the semester, we finally manage to present it well to Mr. Ruben and friends.
OBSERVATION
I observe that during the whole project it's very important to keep everything on track by filling up the timeline form and because we are working as a group, we got to split the work and keep updating each other to see the progress. second, because we have a different design style it's very hard to decide the design style but then when it comes to project there must be things that challenge us to think out of the box. I was worried about the whole thing until I have a clearer idea of what to do, I can do it continuously based on feedback from Mr. Mike and my friends.
FINDINGS
I found that communication is important when it comes to group work, so there's no miscommunication in a group to reach the objective of the project. I have to use my creativity to think out the box and solved the problem. At the beginning of the projects, I was a bit blur and confused about what we supposed to do for the final outcome. Last but not least, Feedback is very important to improve our work.
