REFLECTION

Experience
I would like to thank Mr. Vinod for guiding me though out these courses with helpful advice and feedback. This help me change my view on Typography seeing it is more than just word. And how to will make an influence on design. I learn all the inner workings of it, from x-height, text formatting and expression.

Observation
I have made some careless mistakes during the progress of task 2 and task 3 however those careless mistakes helped me to not make those same one in the future. My workflow is a time-consuming process as some parts I have difficulties on executions in my work. My friends are huge help for giving me inspiration for my work and show me how to save time on the process.

Findings
At the beginning I didn't not relies there are so many strict rules on typography and how those rules are important to make the font readable. Now I know that what makes a font stand out is not the aesthetic alone but the human like traits of it.
