Reflection
Experiences
Throughout this whole 14 weeks of Typography class, I must say there were lots of ups and downs. At the beginning of this module, I was truly excited about it as we were exposed to lots of stuff that was foreign to me. From the intriguing historical background of type evolution to the "do and don't"s when it comes to handling typography. However, as time gradually passes, this module becomes more and more intense along with lots of rejections. There were times where after the class finishes, many of us were just fully drained mentally and it was the worst because after that you just don't feel like doing anything. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, I gained lots of new knowledge form this module and I'm truly glad that Mr. Vinod and Mr. Shamsul are hard on us as I believe it helps us to establish a strong mentally for the future when we are in the real world faced with far more extreme obstacles.
Observations
After attending this class I get to understand more about what's considered as a good and bad typography. I realized that nowadays when I walk anywhere I become more aware of the typography that's around us. Furthermore, after realizing how many years of evolution it takes us to create a pleasing typography as what we know today, made me become more appreciative of the effort and time that is devoted to creating a good typography that we often take for granted and overlook. Knowing that these small details could very much affect our reading experience is something that's really eye-opening.
Findings
After these whole 14 weeks, I came to a realization of how much I have improved at the end of this module. From knowing nothing about the anatomy of letters and that they exist to creating a font of our own even though its only three letters, but still, there was this sense of satisfaction when we get to type using our own typeface. And also, the fact that it started from an abstract idea that's in our head and we are able to transfer it into something that tangible is indeed enthralling. Especially, when it's approved. In addition, with the constraint time to develop our work has made me thought of an idea faster which will come in handy in any situation in the coming future.
