Throughout this period, I dedicated significant effort to crafting a new publication, drawing heavily from insights gathered during user testing sessions. Listening closely to user feedback, I worked diligently to ensure that the publication addressed their needs and preferences effectively. Despite the challenges, the process of refining the publication based on user input was immensely rewarding, highlighting the importance of incorporating user perspectives into the design process. My creative journey was further enriched by a recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, where I found inspiration in the pages of captivating books and the vibrant atmosphere of an art fair. Immersing myself in these experiences sparked new ideas and perspectives, fueling my creativity and influencing the direction of my work. 

The diverse array of artistic expressions I encountered during my trip served as a reminder of the boundless possibilities of creative exploration. Drawing upon these sources of inspiration, I was able to develop a cohesive design for my project. By weaving together elements from different sources and infusing them with my own creative vision, I achieved a unified and harmonious aesthetic that resonated with my objectives. This process of design synthesis underscored the importance of thoughtful curation and strategic decision-making in creating impactful visual experiences. While I aimed to 3D print a series of toy models to complement my project, logistical constraints limited me to completing only one model. Despite this setback, I remained focused on delivering a compelling display at open studios. Although I faced challenges along the way, I took pride in the effort I invested and the progress I made in bringing my vision to life. 

At open studios, I had the opportunity to showcase my work to a wider audience and engage with fellow creatives. The positive reception of my display and the interactions with visitors reaffirmed my confidence in the value of my work. Moreover, I found inspiration in exploring the projects presented by my peers, appreciating the diversity of perspectives and approaches on display. 

Reflecting on this period, I am grateful for the opportunities to grow creatively and connect with others in the artistic community. Each experience, whether it be through user testing, creative exploration, or public exhibition, has contributed to my development as a designer. Moving forward, I am excited to build upon these experiences and continue pursuing my passion for creative expression.
