REFLECTION
Experience
This module was quite a bittersweet experience for me personally. First, I was initially excited with the module because I have some adoration towards typography. However, maintaining the deadline and tasks through the weeks were a hurdle to me as I'm still so poor at managing time works. The time that I pour towards each tasks are diverse it can be 6 hour long/day or maybe just 1-3 hours/day and it took 3-days which later being breakdown in weeks. Although, there were so many things went on I really learned a lot. really a LOT. Not just from the weekly tasks and the recorded lecturer from Mr.Vinod, but the books that being provided was really interesting to read and it helps me when it comes to technical problems inside my works. Like when working with alignments,kerning, etc. in Adobe inDesign for Task 2, I read that there is a certain favorable template for reading in certain format so the text is more readable, and also I learned more about organizing hierarchy there.
Observation
After diving in all the three tasks, I got more familiar on operating Adobe Illustration. For instance, in Task 3A we were asked to generate a typeface of our own and the first digitalization process was being applied in Adobe Illustrator. I got to know such tools like pathfinder that emerge all the shapes together. Besides, I also feel like my sensitivity towards typography being more polished even though only just a little bit. Like an attention to details or when I'm looking at a typeface that feels odd to be placed in a certain situation. sometimes I feel liked to comment on it
Findings
I found that typography have such a long and diverse history. We can tracked down it from western point of view or others as well. And it such fascinating that we went back to the roots to appreciate of how it grows, develop, and evolve until the words that we use nowadays. Typography itself seems will still develop more in the future and I'm anticipating of how it will grow later.
