REFLECTIONS

Experience : 

Typography had a big impact in my design journey, although sometimes i struggle and still confused about the task given by Mr Vinod, i still managed to learn and understand the world of typography. This course is pushing me to learn more about typography and understand more, although sometimes i need to work harder to achieve the goal that i want but yeah pressure make's diamonds, From learning about kerning and type setting to making our own font with the research and feedback given by Mr Vinod, it all will play a big part in my design journey.

Observation :

Everyone is getting better in this course throughout the time, especially me haha that's what i observe. From me confused about kerning to manage to make a good type setting, yeah i think everyone is getting better.

Findings :

I found that typography is consist of many rules, and that rules is used to make a decent type setting and typeface such as the kerning not more than 2 click if not then it will be to close or too far. but i manage to understand and apply it to my design also. I learn about how to make a good layout and doesn't look uneven, because at first while we're still in task 1 i having this difficulty, my layout looks very boring and uneven, but while. we're in task 2 i started to understand how to make the layout more pleasing and easy to read also.
