5    REFLECTION

Experience :
I chose to do a simple font. I got inspired by my hobby, building mini bricks. After a week or two of designing, I had another problem with generating the font. I tried a different software, two computers and finally, I managed to generate my font using the computer at the campus library. Genreating the font was definitely the hardest part of this assignment. I am thankful that this task is over now. 

Observation :
This assignment is similar to my assignment in Semester 1 (Typography). I had to design all uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and punctuations. It is very useful as I could use this font in the future.  

Finding :
I found a lot of interesting fonts when doign my research. The fonts that have the same theme usually look similar, so I had a bit of trouble in designing my font.
