4. Reflection
Experience
At first, I was unsure and a bit confused about starting
this major because I was not very advanced in tools like
Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign. However, I have
learned a lot and practiced a lot because learning without
practice means nothing. With consistent practice, I have
gained a better understanding of what I want to do and
improved my skills. I have truly enjoyed this experience and
have no regrets about choosing this major. I am also very
grateful to Mr. Max for being my lecturer in this module.
His clear explanations, professional teaching style, and the
great experience he provided helped me improve my knowledge
and skills. Despite the challenges, I have enjoyed the
creative process, and I believe these skills will be
valuable in the future.
Observation
Every week in typography class, we receive feedback, which
helps us view things from a broader perspective. I’ve
noticed that even with the same assignment, everyone creates
unique outcomes based on their creativity. During class, I
could share ideas with my peers, which allowed us to
exchange thoughts and become more competitive, always
striving to do our best in every task. I realized that every
little detail is important for creating harmony, balance,
and beauty in design. And while weaknesses are part of being
human, the desire to learn is one of our greatest
strengths.
Findings
Since the first class, I have really enjoyed the process of
completing each task. Typography has encouraged me to
express words visually and to understand that it’s more than
just fonts and typefaces. It is about conveying the essence
of a word through design. Throughout the course, I have
learned valuable skills such as problem-solving and
technical techniques. Consulting about my work and receiving
feedback has been especially important; the more feedback I
received, the better my results became.
Thank you, Mr. Max, for providing helpful feedback that
guided and refined my work.
