REFLECTION

Experience


During 14 weeks of learning typography, I learned fundamental knowledge of Typography from type expression to kerning and type design. I’m genuinely thankful for the learning opportunity to experience different aspects of Typography throughout various tasks.



Observation


After going through individual exercises, I observed that I need to research and practice more to bring a huge improvement in my kerning skill. However, according to the feedback I received,  task 1 "Type expression" was quite successful. The layout of task 2, and task 3 were quite acceptable as well. Considering all of those aspects, I recognized that I tend to work better with tasks that require creativity than techniques. 



Findings 

I realized that most good design works are elicited by a large amount of research and study. I used to research before working on assignments because of the requirements of the given task. Nevertheless, while I was practicing the tasks in Typography class, I could see that the progress of research has enriched my knowledge. Also, it helped me to develop my ideas further.
