REFLECTION
Experience:
I think it was a very great experience for me to learn about the process of creating a book. It was difficult task for me yet fun as I can create my own style and feel. Also, I love this task is because that I get to print a physical book instead just submit it in digital work (most of the previous task is digital work) and I get to know the process of creating a book. I also surprise when I spent 4 hours in the printing shop to reconfirm everything before printing the colored version. I also found out why Mr.Vinod ask us to first print B&W then only Colored version as I mentioned early I found a margin error after printing B&W, it was hard to find the mistake when it is digitally.
Observation:
I found there is still a lot for us to learn about when I went to the printing shop, the worker there (I think is boss?) taught us a lot of stuffs like how we choose the material of paper and margin to the book in different situation, she also mentioned a thing that Mr.Vinod taught us in class which is the "Bleed", I get to understand more when it comes to the process of printing a physical book. I also observed that the activities Mr.Vinod taught us in Task 1 is very important part for basic understanding of a book when I get to printing process.
Finding:
When I printing the book, I found out how importance is the function of Bleed to a book , If I got a chance to create a book next time, I will also add the bleed to my book as I forgot to add in this task before proceed to print. I think I need double check whenever I export something as I made a huge mistake which is my margin somehow different when I export it to PDF and proceed to print. Luckily the worker there reminded me and let me double check before she printed the B&W version out and I still not notice the mistake I made until the B&W version is printed out and get to have a look physically.
