I learned how to use the Figma software for the first time, as well as the Gestalt principles and what they are/how to use them.

The easy part of this project for me was connecting the nursery rhyme to the imagery that was being selected. Since I knew the nursery rhyme well, and its concept is easy to understand, connecting images was easy.

The challenging part was learning how to navigate Figma and how to actually create the images within the software that I had in my mind from the get go.

My submission could be improved by gaining a further understanding of the software, perhaps by watching a YouTube video about it to produce more interesting and unique imagery.

A way to improve this assignment in the future is to provide more real world examples within the lectures. As this is likely the first time that most students are creating any kind of digital work, it would be useful to have more than one example provided to use as some type of starting point or inspiration.

In future assignments, I will have some more knowledge about the way to apply the principles learned to make sure that the submission is as good as it can be.

The feedback provided on the initial submission was very helpful with the final one. it caught some mistake that I had made initially without even realizing them.
