Reflection
Experience
I must say that the entire experience I acquired from this module was one
that I can see myself using in the future. This experience was full of
problems as each duty was assigned one after the other, and had to swiftly
adapt to new situations without much time to absorb the previous one. But
there is no hesitation when I say the experience I gained from these tasks
are valuable, and was exposed to various different method to create a decent
type. Sir's feedback and trials and errors made me know that I have come a
long way with my type. Personally, I feel like they are all very time
consuming yet rewarding at the end of each task. The most fun I had is with
task 3 yet is it the most stressful task out of all the task if I'm being
honest. To round off, this module has thought me to pay more attention to
other aspect than design to create a great work.
Observations
From the task given throughout this module, I have learn to pay more
attention to details as little as they may seem because they consequences
would be too fatal to fix later on. So one essential lesson I learnt is
that sometimes starting again is preferable to attempting to fix what is
already broken. From doing deconstruction in task 3, I learned how each
typeface is constructed and that there are very few perfect typefaces as
they are still element of design. In the deconstruction, I fount out that
some of the typeface are not symmetrical at all, but why do they look fine
as a whole family. I've also begun to pay more attention to the font in many
packages and brand names in order to learn or even mentally provide
constructive comments so that they might be improved.
Findings
I found out that typography is more than ho wit sounds like. Not just a bush
of letters aligned together make them a type. I found that that text
formatting are equally as significant. The tutorials provided was a huge help
and guideline but I find that it could be a bit more detailed as my brain
takes a little longer time for it to completely comprehend a situation not to
mention learning a new skill. In found out that in this module there are not a
lot of freedom with how we create our type, it's always "make it sharp, make
this and this straight", if you want to make it round make sure it's
symmetrical or better to not make it round at all. It's not that I don't want
to hear this feedback; it just doesn't feel right with me, and I operate
better under freedom rather than restriction. In this module, i find that it
does not really feel like art to me.
