REFLECTION

Experience

My experience with learning typography has been really nice. It was actually quite fun to learn about typography. Though Mr. Vinod may seem scary, he is actually a really nice lecturer. His way of teaching actually motivates me to do my work and strives me to do better. It was really nice learning how to make my own fonts and stickers which is something that I never thought I could do. Overall, I really had fun learning about typography. 

Observations

I have observed that throughout this semester, I have always struggled with coming up with ideas for my designs. Even though I had struggles, I was able to keep up with my work for this subject throughout the semester. I also observed that, for every task done for this subject, I feel like I am slowly improving every time which is a good thing because I am learning.

Findings

I have found that I have learnt a lot of things about typography. I found that typography are not just simple letters and there is a lot more to it. I also found that typography is not as hard as it may seem. It does take a lot of studying and reading about typography to be good at it. Other than that, I also found that I love typography. I also found a lot shortcuts which smoothens my workflow when doing tasks.
