Reflection:

• Experience

As you can see there's no process in this post of mine as I knew exactly what I wanted. Thanks to Mr. Vinod's new post on Facebook which was a list of fonts, made it much easier to choose. I went for something fancy but nothing that was hard to read nor write. I had to make changes as last week's drafts, I found that the fonts I picked was a bit hard to read. 

• Observation 

I made certain changes and adapted what I've learned in last week's class. I used margins to make for the alignment and changed up the paragraphs to make it look more interesting.

• Finding

 I searched for famous love songs during the 80's and of course I had to go with Lionel Richie's Truly just to fit the theme!
