REFLECTION

Experience
Throughout the typography lesson, I enjoyed the task given and satisfied the final outcome for each task because i never done any typography lesson during my diploma. I learnt new software, adobe InDesign and how to handle large amount of text. It also helps me to become more self- directed learner by thinking and observing to develop my works and refer to the reference books. Sometimes, I was unsure where to start or missing in my design, but Mr Vinod provide necessary comments and guide us to check our work as a designer. As looking back through my work, I can see that my quality of work in improving, at first, I was to much focused on design as illustrations, but as I move on, I am more stick with the minimal design, with good readability.

Observation
After learning typography is everywhere, I become more observant person to think and study whenever I approach to different typefaces, or layout of the text. I am become more critical thinking person by referring other people's work and references to  compare and what do I need to develop for my design.

Finding
Previously, I only know typography is just font and title design, but it is more technical adjustment especially when we handle large amount of text. For example, such adjusting kerning or alignment of the text make big difference in visuals.
