REFLECTION

Experiences

In conclusion, advanced typography could be one of the most enjoyable thing in the world but also stressful when certain situations don't go your way. I think overall it was a fulfilling experience to challenge yourself through difficulties and set backs, releasing a sigh of relief and a nod of satisfaction when completing a work that ourselves created. In addition, this experience train ourselves to hone our skills and use them for future projects. It could also be a reminder, a reminiscence about painstaking and enjoyable work that we made by looking our past projects. Lastly, I am very thankful about Mr. Vinod reaching out to every student and giving valuable insights with harsh critics but also become the key to our success.

Observation

Sometimes rules aren't meant to be broken. Specifically in Task 1 Exercise 1, the project relies on certain multitude of rules governing typography. and it took me a great time to understand them. But by understanding them, it becomes more appealing and profound that maybe it could evoke certain emotions. In addition, the typographic system exercises have been eye-opening, revealing numerous possibilities for crafting dynamic typography posters.

Findings

When it comes to creating gaps between strokes, I have lost a sense of intuition from time to time amidst doing Task 1 Exercise 2 and Task 2A. It requires attention and focus to ensure that everything remains consistent. It might seem decent but along the way you lose track of it. By creating collaterals or merchandises, it teaches us to create a brand for ourselves, influencers or celebrity. If we are to create a font in the future, we could apply typography skills to assist us in the endeavor.
