Two challenges that I Faced during this project was first of all, I learned what cause the Vietnam War, because that is a topic a lot of people do not know about, I also learned how to use illustrator, the program because I have never used this program before, and Mr. Rodrigo taught us a lot of cool tricks and tips on what we should do on our feature article.
A challenge that I faced during this process is finding a reliable, and informative site, to find information on. A lot of sites, either didn't have what I was looking for, had falsen information, or were to complicated to understand. So finding a reliable source I could understand was a tough challenge.
How this relates to the real world is that, for many years, and still today, conflict has been going on due to racism, religiouse beliefs, or different opinions, In the Vietnam War, the U.S and Vietnam fought because they had different opinions on communism.
