REFLECTION

Throughout completing the projects in this module, I have grown a lot in understanding how to create strong, creative brand campaigns. I learned from studying LEGO’s comeback the importance of sticking to core values like creativity while using new technology to reach more people. In Project 2, I focused on choosing key campaign points and designing a clear, fun visual style that combines LEGO’s traditional play with AR features. Working with a partner helped me see new ideas and improve my designs. In Project 3, I put everything together by creating different materials like posters, a website, and videos, making sure the campaign was clear and engaging across all platforms. Feedback from others helped me fix problems and make the campaign better. Overall, these projects taught me how research, teamwork, and design come together to make meaningful and exciting brand experiences.
