More report cover options draft

This week, we continued designing more cover options. I misunderstood the instructions and thought we needed to create six different designs, so when I presented them, Isana was surprised at the number of covers I had produced. After I showcased the six designs, Isana complimented me, saying I was very good at designing covers. She asked if I had any secrets, and I replied that there wasn’t really a secret—just looking at references, especially those that align with my style or aesthetic, and then combining them with my own ideas and inspiration. It felt amazing to be recognized.

Personally, I enjoy looking at the designs of friends, classmates, and colleagues (interns). When given the same theme or requirements, everyone comes up with different styles of design. Often, their designs inspire my own. Their choices of colors, compositions, and design elements are usually quite different from mine, which helps me stay open-minded. I hope my designs can also inspire others in the same way.
