REFLECTION
Experience
At first, I was extremely worried about this Advanced Typography module, as I didn't think I did well for my Typography module. However, I enjoyed Advanced Typography more as I had a lot of fun. I learned a lot more new skills and was able to utilize it in my works as I have already known the basics. As usual, the module could be quite workload-heavy, but this time I think I did a better job at managing, which gave me more time to explore and get inspiration. I am also very thankful to Mr Vinod. Believe it or not, I was terrified of him at first, but he is actually a really nice lecturer. He always gave me helpful feedback, spending his own time to help us improve our work and I respect that a lot. Unexpectedly, I will miss doing typography a lot. I have never imagined that what used to be my most hated module will be the one that I will miss the most, Looks like I have developed a love-hate relationship with typography.
Observation
The biggest observation was that I have improved a bunch compared to when I first stepped into the typography world. Looking back now, my work is lacking in so many aspects. But this meant I have upgraded myself, which I am proud of. If you told younger me that I would come up with my very own font, I would have laughed and say that it was impossible. This huge stepping stone i made has been one of the best decisions.
Findings
Typography plays a huge, huge role in everyday life, serving multiple purposes, including improving aesthetics and readability, while also contributing to the overall balance of the text. Achieving effective typography is a meticulous process that demands careful research. By studying my fellow classmates' work, I can identify areas for improvement and enhance the quality of my work as I also learn a lot from them.
