REFLECTION

Experience
I've never imagined I will learn typography within this past 14 weeks. It was a fun experience, I always saw typography through poster in my daily life, but never made my own typography. Among all of my module, I actually enjoy typography the most, it was so structured and i can easily understand all of the tasks. This semester I learn a lot and got to met an amazing lecturer that helped me through all of my tasks, he let us explore our own style and he also brings out our creativity. There were challenges,  especially on task 3, I have to explore and bring out my creativity but despite the challenge, I always think that this is a foundation for my future. Overall, my experiences in this semester was good and I'm grateful for this experience.

Observations
Throughout this 14 weeks, I've noticed I become interested looking for poster in my daily life. I noticed typography play such a big role in poster, i can't help to always learn through people poster and the way they made the typography. 

Findings 
My finding in this semester was definitely type expression, I learn how the word itself can portrait the word meaning, it was such a huge "wow" for me. I also find that using illustrator will be this fun and i can't wait to find more interesting things in the future.
