Poster and Seminar
In this assignment, we are required to work in a group of 8 to select one of the streets done in our previous project. We were then asked to obtain in depth understandings of the chosen street through researches online, and site visits etc. Later on, we proceed to segregate and organize our data collected into a conceptual framework, identifying keywords, issues, proposing solutions, researching questions etc. Finally, as a group, we are required to create a video regarding our research.
Here's the showcase of our work :)

Progress
Research & Site Visit
Our team have chosen Lee Rubber Building located at Jalan Tun H.S. Lee. For those who had done research on this in the previous project will share their work in the group so that we can study and analyze together on different perspectives as well as doing the usual research online. Site visits are conducted as well to further clarify our information once again before proceeding to further develop and find out the issue and solutions to it.

Meetings & Discussions
After several meetings, our team was delegated into groups to complete this assignment. 1 person for conceptual framework, 1 for poster design, 1 for video editor, 1 for each research questions etc. We then followed the dateline provided by our leader to complete each task. Along we the way, we as a team, helped each other if any of us faces any trouble.
Feedbacks & Improvements
Not only discussing within our group to ensure each others' works are on track, we also have uploaded our progress on Miro weekly to get feedbacks from our tutor, Mr Koh to be further develop and improve, and most importantly not go off track.
Reflection
From this assignment, I not only have gained a lot of knowledge of design, history and preservations, I have also learnt to work in a team- to be a good team member. People with different personalities, often comes with different opinions, it certainly had its moments when members do not agree with each other, however, we managed to compromise each other and work it out without starting any conflicts. Besides, we also got to bond through this assignment as we constantly seek help or lend a hand to our friends who are facing any difficulties.
As this assignment requires online submissions, I have acquired the skill to design posters and arrange information better in Canva. Though I have used Canva multiple times, I have now discovered several interesting functions and also methods to design an interesting poster as well as with the help and comments from our tutor during tutorial sessions.
Improvements
Though this was quite a smooth process in general, certain areas could still be further improved. For instance, communication within group members. There were several times where team members were confused or has done wrong formats. Perhaps in the future, we can create a more detailed schedule and information with constant reminders of the format, even better, checking on each team mate's progress to ensure that all members are on track. Other than that, it was quite a rewarding experience to be able to work with my team members who are all dedicated and hardworking people, and also willing to help me whenever I face any issues.
