FINAL ASSIGNMENT (INDIVIDUAL)
TOY DESIGN: PLAY AND THE ACT OF PLAY
The final assignment is making my own toy using different materials, toy poster and teaser video of the toy. My position in this assignment is a designer in a design company and I have assigned to design a toy or an object of play to children's and youth's department. My lecturer have divided the different body parts to each students and the toy should be related with the body part.
TOY DESIGN
NOTES
MIRO BOARD
My lecturer told me and my tutorial members to get a partner and discuss about assigned body part.
This helps us to comprehend the body part and share ideas with my partner and gets to improve my toy on my own. After doing this, I finally got to understand that I have to focus on the toy more than the game and how the toy interacts in the game.

REFLECTION
Able to figure out the toy problems and overcome it easily with the help of my lecturer. I had a trouble with the games because it was not creative and boring but I got to defeat the trouble in short amount of time.
I am glad to my lecturer that feel free to criticize my works and capable for me to improve my work in this assignments. I am ready to get any comments from my lecturer in tutorial and develop the comments into my work.
Designing toy was hard at first but after lots of suggestions from different perspective, I was able to learn open heartedly. I will make sure that this could give benefits for me from now on.
