REFLECTIONS
This is the hardest module in my 1st Sem. However, I definitely learnt a
lot of things related to typography and also from my multiple failure
attempts. My tutor, Ms. Vitiyaa gave me a lot of critical feedbacks
throughout the tasks. It was definitely hard to get used to it at first,
especially during Task 1 and I was about to give up at first but somehow,
someway I managed to keep up with it and survive my 1st Sem,
hahahaha...
As for the things I learnt related to typography, I learnt
different terms and different concepts during the tasks and lectures. For
example, kerning, tracking, text formatting, cross alignment and a lot more. I
also got to refine my Illustrator and InDesign skills and even experience new
app which is FontLab. Typography requires a lot of discipline and it may be
annoying and frustrating at first, I managed to improve myself from it and I
definitely believe I can apply these skills in the future. Overall, it is a
good struggle.
