REFLECTIONS

Experience :
This whole semester of learning advanced typography, I learned a lot of new things. I feel there are many things that are more advanced than last semester's typography. there were a lot of ups and downs during this semester. Some tasks are very interesting but require a fairly tiring process to complete but provide commensurate satisfaction. I feel like I'm still lacking a lot of things but I'm still trying to figure out how to get it done. I received a lot of help when working, feedback from Mr. Vinod and also support from my friends.

Observations :

I observed that in making the typographic system layout, I need to put more attention to the details and the rules. I observed that in refining typeface we need to put more focus on the details. Another thing that I observed is that I should have put more focus on my key artwork rather than making the poster design the main focus.

Findings :

I find that some tasks took more time than I thought. I was actually procrastinating because of the thought that I can finish the task faster but turns out it didn't. I learned that people have different styles and taste and it makes the design more interesting and fun in the process.
