Reflection 

Experience

In the beginning of the semester, I took typography as a challenge that I cannot get a good mark, it's a huge difficult to me because of typography is a mystery subject that I didn't touch before, it's like a exploration in space learning different term, improving my knowledge, at least I will be focus on the caption if the movie or the text in the poster, I started to know that the text that I can see using my eyes not just simply pasting in the page, It's need to learn about the composition. Also, the Type font, I think I can choose any of the typeface to put in the text, but the difference of the typeface in the body text could make different effect, it might increase or decrease the readability. In the end, I learn a lot in the class. When I am doing this final compilation post, I read back all the post that I did before, it's different from the Task 1 to Task 3, I can see incorrect or messy in the past blog, but after I review all of it, I saw my improvement from the starting point to the end.

Observation

Going through this semester, I saw my learning stages and process, it's not just giving me process, it actually affects my live too. I can see my writing change; it's look tidy even though I am using cursive writing. I started to notice the text formatting of my novel. Through typography, I become more patient in my life, not just rushing through, I pay attention while eating, walking, playing game, I will try to figure out why the design is like this, why this look common to me, why some post can attract me.

Findings

I find out that typography is truly important in my life, I can see text and type design in all of my life. In the beginning of the course, I think typography is not that important as I am taking animation in the future, but in this time, my mind change, it's affecting my skill, it improves me. Typography is not that fun as other subject as it's needed to consider many kinds of rules in order to make the text perfect, text can take important role in a poster or a page too, not just illustration, text attracted people to read.
