REFLECTION
Experience：
This semester, I learned about typography, which was completely new to me as I had never encountered it before. Although I was often corrected for mistakes, I truly enjoyed the sense of accomplishment it brought me. Each project taught me different aspects of typography. To complete every task, I had to research a lot of related knowledge, improve my skills, and gain experience, applying all of it to my work. Every week, I received feedback from Ms. Vitiyaa on my designs, pointing out issues that I promptly addressed. I also enjoyed incorporating my unique style into my work to make the designs more interesting. I really appreciated the unique experiences this class brought me, and I hope to apply the knowledge I’ve gained in future projects.
Observations：
During these 14 weeks of learning, I realized the importance of paying attention to every detail, as any issue can disrupt the overall harmony. This is something I concluded as I started using relevant software. I also sought advice from friends on how they addressed these issues, which added a sense of joy to my learning process. Before creating a design, I first observed and analyzed the logical connections and structures between each letter or piece of text. From this, I extracted what I needed to achieve the desired effect in my work.
Findings：
First, the details in design are very important because even one small detail can make the entire layout or composition feel unbalanced. Second, I believe the design process is crucial. It’s through this process that we identify areas where we lack knowledge, learn by researching, and ultimately improve the quality of our work.
Lastly, I want to express my gratitude for these past weeks of learning, which sparked my interest in typography and allowed me to gain valuable knowledge. I hope to continue learning and discovering more unique insights in the future.
