REFLECTION

Experience
When I first started degree, I never thought I would have to learn typography like this. I barely have any experience in typography. For the first few weeks, I felt like this subject was very difficult. However, as I made new friends who could help guide me, I found this subject to be less and less challenging. Mr Vinod also played a huge part in helping me understand this subject. Now, at the end of the semester, I enjoy typography. It is definitely not my favourite subject, but I am very grateful for the experience. 

Observations
After 14 weeks of learning typography, I could say that I have learned a lot of new things. At first, I thought typography is just related to typing and writing, but now I know that typography is more than that. I am enjoying the tasks and seeing all my classmates' amazing works. 

Findings
Throughout the whole semester, I have done three assignments. Each assignment has taught me different things. It is safe to say that I am now better at typography than I was at the start of this semester.
