Dare to come up with creative ideas in studying this subject.  I felt that I gained a lot from this module because it was the first time I got my own website, the first time I did a lot of things like professionals do.  Even though I'm not very good at it and some of the tasks didn't turn out as I hoped for, at least I think I've tried it.  From the start of the first blog post at that time, I had no idea what it would look like, but as I kept doing it, doing research from many sources, I discovered my passion more about myself. I know that I'm still lacking in many skills, but compared to the beginning, I think I've learned some new things. Writing my first movie review was very challenging as I had never experienced a movie review before. It's quite different from watching a normal ...

Today I am testing canva website and I am going to try a magazine template.  First of all. I opened canva website and then I log in with my google account.      Then I searched in the search box for magazines. Then after I searched that it will pop up a new window with a blank paper on the right and for left side is templates to choose.   I chose this template because the promotions of images and articles fit quite well with my work. After that, I tried to put images from my website that are free copyright images from unsplash. I clicked upload on the left hand side and then upload images from my computer.
