Reflection

Experience

I take this module as one of my minor subject and I would never regret about this. I have experienced a lot of fun and this module teach me a lot of knowledge on skills in designing typography projects including article, printed book layout, website design, text art and more. Even though there are some struggle and stress while completing the assignments, I felt satisfied and sense of achievement after I completed my projects.

Observation

I know that my outcome might not able to compete with my other classmates who are major in designing but I have tried my best and use my ability as I can to produce outcome that I am satisfied in. After studying this module, I also found out that I will pay more attention on typographic design and layout especially while reading printed materials such as magazine and newspaper.

Findings

I have learnt a lot of skills in typography and this module also make me aware and increase my sense on typographic design, especially on usage of space and layout. Even though I found out that I might have good sense in typographic design but I will explore more on this field in the future.
