REFLECTION

Experience - During the 14 weeks learning about typography, it was an eye-opening experience. Coming here, I was least excited with typography as I was not very interested with the subject. However, during this course, I learnt a lot and met some challenges. Being unfamiliar with the software and techniques, I faced some difficulties. But with the help of my lecturer and friends, I eventually figured it out.

Observations - I've always liked the atmosphere of typography's class. The laid back type of lesson was like a fresh air. Coming here without very little to no experience with the softwares, I was anxious if I lack behind from my peers. But, it was actually the opposite, Mr. Max introduced us with the software and my peers are also very new to them. 

Findings - I have always thought typography was very boring. I under estimated on how much fun it could be. The little details many people may not know but has a huge impact on the readability and clearance. I've also made some new friends during this class.
