REFLECTION
Experience
My experience in the Advanced Typography class has been quite
enriching. Initially, I had heard that the lecturer, Mr. Vinod,
was a very serious person. However, upon meeting him, I found him
to be a nice and approachable lecturer. While he does take certain
aspects very seriously, it ultimately benefits us by ensuring we
produce the highest quality work and assignments.
As a credit transfer student, I had only learned
basic typography before this class. Mr. Vinod’s
teaching expanded my knowledge significantly,
showing me how typography truly functions in our
lives. At first, I wasn't very interested in
typography, finding it overly rigid and difficult
to appreciate. I expected strict guidelines this
semester, but the Advanced Typography module was
surprisingly flexible, offering a great deal of
freedom and independence.
I particularly enjoyed the emphasis on type
design tasks, which made the module more engaging
compared to creating layouts or arranging type.
Overall, this has been a rewarding experience. I
discovered a newfound interest in type design and
gained valuable typography knowledge that enhances
my work in other areas.
Observations
I noticed that I still spend a significant amount of time on
layouts. Unlike generating type design ideas, creating layouts
does not come as naturally to me and often takes longer than
expected to complete typographic systems. I also realized that
producing high-quality work requires resilience and
determination to achieve my desired outcomes.
Despite enjoying Advanced Typography more than the
basic module, I experienced more moments of burnout,
which demanded extra perseverance. Fortunately, the
engaging nature of the tasks helped me push through
these challenges.
Findings
I gained the most knowledge from Task 3, which focused on
exploration and application. Compared to the other tasks, Task 3
was quite challenging but also the most interesting for me.
Designing my own typeface was something I had never considered
before, but now I have successfully done it. Additionally, I
acquired extra knowledge about FontLab. It took me a week to learn
how to use FontLab, but it turned out to be less difficult than I
initially thought.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed learning typography. The constant
challenges pushed me to my limits and allowed me to create
impressive and high-quality artwork.
