REFLECTION

Experience and Findings: Overall, I had a great experience with the module. As a minor student of this module, I thought that the module put a great deal of pressure on me to produce some decent typeface work. I assumed that sensation indicated that I didn't like this module. But, as it turned out, I really like it. There was pressure, but it was a positive type of pressure that pushed me to do better. The module's excellent content is one of the module's many advantages. The things we were given to study, as well as the ever-changing module objectives, keep what we learn interesting and fun. With a strong drive to enhance the module and a willingness to try various approaches to force the students into a condition of optimal learning. I have gone through the ups and downs in this module but through all of it, I have manage to finished up all the assignment that have been assigned by my lecturers. I've learned a variety of software abilities, including Illustrator, InDesign, and FontLab. I've learned a variety of typography techniques, including kerning, weighing, and line spacing. I've picked up a slew of new skills, including paragraph spacing, font embedding, and more. I really do enjoy study the in-depth of typography. 

Observation: My observation, I found out that in typography,  we must have the necessity of improving our own assessment abilities, something I have always lacked. I may not be fully understand typography design, but being able to learn the skills of typography was a bless. In anticipation of this one course, various knowledge was shared, met new talented designers and talented lecturers who are friendly and willing to help out if I'm stuck.
