REFLECTION

Experience

-

Every task takes lots of time. I think because every task have 2 parts or even 3 parts in completing it, if I spent too much time on the first part, I cannot move on, which makes me progress slower in completing all the task. I enjoy this module, it helps me improve my layout composition, branding identity and consistency. 

Observations

-

I have discovered the importance of balance between aesthetics and legibility while doing all the task throughout this semester and gained a lot of knowledge about typography and design.

Findings

-

This module provided valuable findings that will shape my future endeavors. I discovered the importance of striking a balance between form and function, and the need for continuous growth and experimentation to refine my personal typographic voice. I also gained a deeper understanding of typography's role in visual communication and its ability to enhance the overall design.
