    III. REFLECTION

    Experience
    Throughout these 14 weeks, I was able to learn so much about the concept and process of creating Typography. By completing each task, I greatly improved my skills and I slowly got to appreciate Typography class more and more. Thanks to the step-by-step guidance from Mr Max and tutorials from Mr Vinod, each task went by smoothly and I could complete everything on time. With their guidance, I could express my creativity and put it into my work. Overall, this module allowed me to learn a lot of things about Typography and I hope to apply all that I learned to my future projects. 

    Observations
    Through this module, I developed a newfound appreciation for typography. I was able to see the small details in each typeface; and how each small detail mattered so much to create a more harmonious look. I also learned that design can be such a vast world. Each designer will have their own interpretations of a theme, and it is really important to express that. 

    Findings
    I learned that the concept and thoughts behind the design matter as much as the final work itself. It is important to keep experimenting with the tools and programs that are available to us, which will allow us to constantly learn and improve as designers.
