RELECTION

Experience
Overall my experience in this modules is great and enjoyable.I learned a lot of knowledge of typography with a very pleasant experience. This is my first module after my diploma, although some processes are a bit rushed but I've improved and recap a lot of AI skills from this modules.And now I'm more enjoy in typography.

Observations
Throughout this semester,I've learned a lot from my classmate by observe their work.I enjoy appreciating and observing other classmate's work.Everyone have their own style while doing their design.This is most interesting part I've found.In addition to that, I also very thankful about how Mr Max have feedback sessions every week.This help me a lot in my every task.

Finding
After this 14 weeks, I found that Typography is not an easy work. Designers need to put in a lot of effort, ideas and time to create a fabulous work.It takes a lot of skill in different field from the designers to support them to create a work.
