REFLECTION
It was a bit messy work to make a flyer especially for a fitness app. The
things that went alright were I was little bot aware reading such app and
providing some sort of information was not a difficult task. Along with this I
was aware regarding the functions of Microsoft word so it doesn’t take much
time to complete this work. Apart from this there were many things that
doesn’t went alright like it was not easy for me to search for some new
features related to fitness that can be easily enabled in mobile application.
Along with this it was difficult to make flyer look attractive by adding
different shapes, style and colour fonts. Thus taking information and then
adding in the flyer along with formatting styles is a hectic work to perform.
If in future I will get such exercise then my first approach for completing
the flyer will be intense research on the given topic. Along with this I will
note down the important taglines and quotes in order to make it more
attractive and catchy. Implication of images will be more effective in order to
attract more people towards the flyer. Along with this I will also design a
template in which flyer can be completed in a good manner.
On the basis of this assignment I have come through my strengths and
weakness that is very beneficial for me. With the identification of weakness I
can work on those areas and will complete the next given assignment in more
affective way. I found that I was quite fast in grasping the idea and forming
attractive sentences on the basis of that. Along with this I was quite good on
the creative side which includes proper formatting of flyer to make it more
1

attractive. My only weakness was lack of information regarding fitness needs
that can be included in the application and inadequate searching skills.
I have completely used my strength in this assignment. The main strategy
I applied was to first design the sample template for the flyer. After designing
a format it becomes bit easy to fill the empty spaces with data. Along with
this I have also done with all the formatting styles after the filling the space
with specific information. As this part doesn’t too much time but major task
was to search for the specific information that can be relevant to given type
of app. As I lack adequate information regarding search strategy that help in
conducting the research related to the topic. But to overcome this weakness I
searches for the strategies and had learned about keyword search technique.
This technique is highly time saving as it involves the use of specific words
for conducting the relevant research. As through this technique I was easily
able to search for the specific information related to app. Thus this is how I
was able to overcome my weakness in order to complete the flyer in more
effective way.
