REFLECTION

Experience

My overall experience in typography was that it was hectic. There was a lot of failure, some success, but a lot of growth at the same time. It was hard to get a design rejected but it also pushed me to do better. I was most worried about producing the best designs on the first try, but there is always process and room for improvement.

Observation

I noticed my care and attention for the little details in design has improved a lot because of typography. I learnt that it's these small details that really make a design work - less is more. I also learnt a lot from observing my classmates and how they tackle the assignments in their own way. I also noticed my failures are usually due to my lack of planning beforehand. I will improve myself for the next semester.

Findings

Before enrolling into design, I did not expect myself to require so much attention to the details in design and notice all the subtle nuances that come with it. My main finding after completing the final project is that practice makes perfect. Typography, like any other design skill will only improve with practice. Feedback and criticism is also important and brought out better designs from me and substantial improvement.
