REFLECTION

Experience
Entering Creative Media is a whole new world for me because I almost know nothing about it, including Typography. At first, I had no idea and was scared that I could not understand anything in this lecture. Everything is new and challenging, I would say that Typography helps me a lot in improving my skill and knowledge in design, because every task pushes me to learn more and more, also I am happy that I am getting a chance to meet new friends (since it is an offline class), I can see how others work, doing their design, and of course, I can get new hacks in using software tools and get references from others' work. Also, Mr. Vinod was very helpful, he will provide us with feedback on our work and help us if we find any difficulties.

Observations
Throughout these weeks, I learned that Typography is not just an invisible servant of design, but it is recognized as the design itself (definitely an amazing fact). It developed throughout the centuries and has a long history. To learn Typography, I cannot only rely on one source, like the internet or books, I have to explore more. Also, in this lecture, the most important thing is patience and research. Without that, we will stuck in the same position and cannot improve our skills.

Findings
Typography is complicated yet beautiful. The process is everything, maybe if I do not learn typography, I will never know how hard it is to make a letter or how to place words so it can easily to read. Overall, typography is a great module and I hope I can be better at typography.
