First Attempt (Before Changing the Artwork)
Mr. Vinod said that the time and names are hard to read, he told me to placed it outside, following the scorpio's tail and make it like a curve.

Second Attempt (After Changing the Key Artwork)
Mr. Vinod said I should use leading and paragraph space instead of typing the words one by one and change the paper size into A2.
Fig 1.4
Third Attempt
Mr. Vinod told me to change the font size into 16pt, get rid of the whitespace at the top left, and it's better to make the design colloquium red colour to make it stand out and apart from the key artwork Troublemakers Manifesto.

Chosen Designs and Colour Comparison
I showed the colour comparison to Mr. Vinod, and even though the scorpion in my poster is grey, but Mr. Vinod recommends me to go with the red, because it looks better.

FEEDBACK
21.05.19 (Week 8)
Specific Feedback: I told Mr. Vinod that I don't want to do my work with the caution/police lines as it is somewhat plagiarism to Nadia's work. Then, I showed him the scorpion idea that I made overnight, but with the same typeface construction. Mr. Vinod said that it's interesting how I can come up with the idea of scorpio and how I made it from stain of brushes. Overall, he commented scorpions are troublemakers with the trait stingy and it's a good thing I come up with an idea on such short notice. I asked if it's an acceptable work and he said yes. Now, I just need to find a way to make the typefaces more readable.
Specific feedback (Friday Consultation): Mr. Vinod said that the work is good and he likes how I put the "MAKERS" into place, but I need to re-arranged the typefaces and figure out how to make it better. I gave my opinion to Mr. Vinod: what if I arrange the U-B-L-E in zig-zag? After I made zig-zag pattern on it, Mr. Vinod said that it was much better. For the poster, Mr. Vinod said that I should put the "A Design Colloquium" at the scorpion's feet.
28.05.19 (Week 9)
General Feedback: Mr. Vinod said to always have the keywords "Troublemakers Manifesto" in every collateral design.
Specific Feedback: I have kind of a lot of trouble in designing the poster, starting from the paper size, the white spaces, and colours pick. However, in the end all my work got accepted and the lecturers prefer red colour for the scorpion on both collateral designs.
REFLECTION
EXPERIENCES
21.05.19 (Week 8)
It was quite stressful when I still couldn't get the plagiarism thing out of my mind, as it's still bothering me, but I'm really relieved when Mr. Vinod accepted my scorpion artwork and he only told me to make a few changes in Friday consultation.
28.05.19 (Week 9)
This week was quite hectic. I haven't done my poster and I need to get both my collateral design done by today. I think I asked the lecturers for feedbacks for 6 or 7 times already, but they kept pointing out my mistakes and make me understand which is wrong and why does it needs to be fixed. Fortunately, I could get them all done by the end of the class.
OBSERVATIONS
21.05.19 (Week 8)
I saw my friends' works also still not done yet, and we were all being chased by time, as if telling us to hurry and speed up the pace. Even though I have observed my friends and my seniors' works, I'm still panicking whether my work will be accepted or not.
28.05.19 (Week 9)
Most of my friends have already done their poster and I really like Tamara, Rausha, Indira and Maydeline's work. They all looked so good for me and I tried to learn from them while making my poster and collateral designs.
FINDINGS
21.05.19 (Week 8)
I found out where I did my mistakes after receiving feedbacks from Mr. Vinod. My key artwork and poster still lacks of readability and Mr. Vinod taught me how to make it right.
28.05.19 (Week 9)
While making the poster and collateral designs, I now learned and kind of found out the placements of the design I should place, hierarchy, and colour pick. If it weren't for asking feedbacks so many times in the class, I wouldn't have done my work in time and I still wouldn't know where I did wrong.
