Reflection

Experience:
I've gone from being confused to having a deeper understanding of typography in the last 14 weeks. At first, I experienced a great deal of stress and worry when I observed my peers finishing their work and showcasing their computer management skills. But as time passed, I started to understand the fundamentals of typography. I discovered that typefaces are more than just apparent shapes—they also express the ideas and opinions of the designer. I discovered that many features in the typefaces made by other designers were painstakingly made. Additionally, I gained knowledge about article layout, including how to improve typesetting and distinguish between primary and subheadings. This training has greatly influenced the way I understand typography.
Notes:
Typography requires meticulous attention to detail, especially when it comes to maintaining uniform stroke and angle patterns. I began off concentrating on making designs that were visually appealing, but as I got into typeface creation, I ran into a lot of difficulties. I came to understand that while designing a font family is an intricate and difficult undertaking, it is precisely this intricacy that gives the craft of typography such profound significance and worth.

Results:
Despite the fact that this course was really difficult for me,Miss LOW HSIN YIN and Mr. Vinod's patience and readiness to respond to my inquiries were very beneficial. I was able to reflect on my own work and learn from my colleagues' designs by appreciating their talents. Even though I occasionally struggle with English, I've been working hard to get better all the time. Not only has typography improved my visual sense, but it has also brought attention to how important attention to detail is in design. I've learned from this course that mastering the nuances of typography is crucial to honing your artistic judgment and design accuracy.
