REFLECTIONS 

Experience

I would say that I feel a bit overwhelmed at the beginning of the semester because of the heavy workload. But I found that it was fun while doing the first task and also task 3B because it was more related to our daily life. It was very time-consuming doing these tasks because it really takes time to look at the details and do changes on it. But on the other hand, It does help me to improve my observation skills. And after this, I take good care of choosing the suitable typefaces and also care about the kerning. 

Observation

I have observed that we should pay attention to the details because it always is the key that lets us be successful in doing these tasks and in the future. I have also observed that it is not an easy process to make a typeface. After this, I observed that I will always look at the typeface and the layout while I am looking at advertisements and also videos too. When I was doing task 3B, I observed that although we are designing the words we care a lot about the details but at the end of the results , the stickers are smaller than what we expect.

Findings

I found that this module is a really useful module to help me build up my knowledge in typography. I found that there is much more to learn in typography because typography is always an essential part everywhere not only in design but this is how we communicate and how we read. I found that making a gif and even creating stickers seems to be easy but it also takes time to finish it. And making text layout is also harder than I thought because we had to make sure that is cross-alignment and also make sure the paragraph space is suitable for people to read.
