REFLECTION

Experience
Before entering the university, the school automatically arranged courses for us, including the course of typography. At that time, I didn’t know much about the details of typography. I only knew that it was an important factor in design. I learned about it on the first day of class. With full expectations, Mr Vinod spent the next few days introducing us to the rules before handing us over to Mr Max. Mr Max is a very nice person and will patiently teach us any questions we have. Also because of this one-week class, I feel that the typesetting class makes me feel the most relaxed. I like the atmosphere of this class.

Observations
I feel that through this semester’s course, I have become better at observing. Especially when I go shopping, I will naturally observe the font design of the sign outside each store. I find it very interesting and it can also inspire me to have more ideas. idea. When other students in the class show their work, I will also observe the difference between their work and mine, because that is when they show their creativity and imagination. I will observe who is working hard and still working hard. Someone is doing their homework half-heartedly.

Findings
I used to think that I could design according to my mood, but after I took a typesetting class, I learned a lot of principles that need to be followed, and there are also some details that we need to handle carefully, such as kerning, layout proportions, and different situations using different fonts and so on. The typesetting we are learning can be seen everywhere in life. Now we know its principles and details that others don’t know.
