REFLECTION

Experience
The past 14 weeks have been hectic, despite all the stress I have definitely learned a lot from this module. Each project has constantly pushed me pass my limits and also out of my comfort zone. Despite the many times I have doubted myself and lost confidence as a designer, I still stayed determined and was able to accomplish each assignment. I was also able improve my work with the help of feedback from Mr Vinod and Mr Shamsul. Overall this class was a good experience that helped me to develop my typography skills. 

Observation
I realised that typography is more than just words and text and that a lot of thought process was given into each decision in order to produce the design. I have also develop a deeper appreciation for typography and also respect towards designers who are able to produce an excellent piece of typography as I realised that it's not as easy as it seems.

Findings
I have found myself growing more as a designer through this class and also have a better understanding of typography and also the weight of typography in design. When words are added into a design, it provides a whole new insight to a deeper meaning of the composition which made me appreciate typography a lot more. I have found myself improving though I'm still not there yet, I will do my best to improve my typography.I also found that I improved better after receiving critiques and also getting inspiration from professional typographers.
