| Art Direction : Logo |
 |
| Art Direction : User Interface |
For the user interface of the application, My preferences are more towards for a clean style, as you can see from the moodboard. Although dark mode seems to be interesting and attracting, the final decision will depend on the majority vote. I have also included potential features for QuantoCube, such as expense tracking, various service types, community interaction, user profiles, pricing, and more

Art Direction : Colour Palette |
 |
| Art Direction : Social Media |
For social media posts, I believe using realistic images of people can effectively convey the idea and build trust in the service. Authentic photos of real users can help potential customers relate better to the content and feel more confident about the service.

Feedback
Week 2 - 01/05/2023:
In this module, our main goal is to foster collaboration among the lecturer and your team members.
Week 3 - 08/05/2023:
It's commendable that your group demonstrates critical thinking skills. However, be mindful not to overcomplicate things due to time constraints.
Reflection
Through this module, I have come to appreciate the diversity in everyone style and approach. However, what I find most valuable is our ability to collaborate, actively participate in meetings, and share feedback and ideas with one another. Sometimes I tend to be slightly shy, "Is it okay to say this?" , luckily since most of us are familiar with each other it still be slightly comfortable with each other. Although most of us is pretty introvert , but I believe each of us have our strength that
At the start, Jacqueline and I noticed some similarities between this project and our previous module. This familiarity gave us confidence, knowing that we could leverage our past experiences to excel in this task. Moving forward, I hope we can continue to build on our strengths, further strengthen our collaboration, and contribute even more till the end success of the project. We can do it ! MBTIC3 ~
