Read: Ch. 9+ 10 in Eskilson
Write your reflections in your journal/Medium and submit with P1.

Rationale

Your rationale is an explanation of how the solution meets the design problem. The rationale should be structured around your concept and form the justification for your design choices. It illuminates your thought process in your design including how all of your formal decisions (type, color, image, format, materials) connect to your big idea. In addition to explaining what you’ve done, include why you’ve done it. Avoid passing judgment on your work in the rationale but state why or how your solution is successful.
