Reflection

Experience

This Module actually come out better than I expected, I thought it's gonna be boring as we learn about letters and paragraphs and old history about how the ancient used to draw the first letter in a cave, but wow... it's actually fun. I can learn to design better in typography and makes the reader understand the message easier. It was also fun for me when it came to animating the final poster, Because I was trying to make it look fun, and it kinda worked, so that's something. 

Observation

I have observed that I like to try different styles and have fun with it, not just stuck at the same one. I also realise that the more I learn about typography, the more I kinda feel interested in how typography is applied in books, magazines, and other things that use it. So i could learn from those in terms of using typography, and come up with new ideas and designs.

Findings

It was hard at first, I wasn't used to short deadline, I realise that I have a really time management skill, and I have to work on that for sure. I also found that when I tried to explain something about why i use this and that in my design, I tend to blank at that kind of time, because I'm not a native english speaker, so I tend to think first in my language then translate it in my mind, so I'm trying to conquer that problem as time goes by.
