REFLECTION

Experience

Compared to Typography, Advanced Typography seems to have greater freedom. I now approach typography differently than I did before these two classes, when I wasn't very interested in it. Typography in general is something that I had to get used to since at first it felt so rigid. This semester, I had braced myself for even more regulations to adhere to, but Advanced Typography was really better and the work offered more autonomy. There were more projects that included type design, and they were my particular favourites because I like them more. It was an excellent experience, and knowing about typography is also really helpful because it improves my work in other areas.

Observations

I observed that creating layouts were some of my favourite parts of this module. There were lots of moments that inspired me to push through this module because it was good experience even though there were burn outs. The tasks gave me lots of determination and creative exercise which helped me expand my way of working around typography.

Findings

I find that the tasks that I went through Advanced Typography encouraged and taught me a lot in terms of design.  Also, it gave me lots of ideas for design and art. The task that I found intriguing was typographic systems because it let me experiment with a lot of layouts but have to work along the system.
