REFLECTIONS

Experience : 
My experience while studying typography for 14 weeks was very memorable. There are times when I found it difficult to complete the tasks at hand but I also sometimes feel helped by the instructions given by Mr. Vinod clearly and in detail. In addition, the feedbacks given were also very helpful for me to improve my work. 14 weeks is not felt, when I worked on this final compilation, honestly I was very touched by the works I was able to get through these 14 weeks. There were so many new lessons that I can get during this time and I am very grateful to Mr. Vinod and Mr. Charles who has been kind and considerate in teaching us. I felt I was very different when I was first studying in the first week and in this last week 14. I feel like I got a lot of new knowledge about typography that I didn't know anything about before.

Observations :
There are several things that I have observed during my 14 weeks of studying typography. First I observed that there are so many hidden details about typography, I know that typography will definitely pay attention to details but I don't expect that even the smallest details are present. I was also quite surprised by some of the history of typography such as the origin of the existing typeface names. What caught my attention was the history of changing typefaces for each era. Besides that, I was also quite surprised by the large number of typefaces in the world.

Findings :
In 14 weeks of learning typography, I discovered that there is one thing that is very important, it is progress. With us documenting progress, we can see how we complete each task. I also learned to be able to pay attention to details by doing tasks patiently and carefully. I realized that detail is very influential in typography. I also find that doing research before starting our task is very important, as it gives us the provision to be able to do our task easily.
