Reflection 

Over these 14 weeks of typography class, I have explored and learned a lot about typefaces and their history — things I never thought to look into before. I now understand concepts like kerning and other details, which I found fun to learn. Designing my own font was also an interesting and enjoyable experience.

For the first assignment, expressing the meaning of a word through its visual appearance was something new to me. The second assignment on layout design was a bit of a struggle at first because I didn’t really know where to start or what I could do. However, as I continued working on it, things started to improve, and I ended up enjoying the process more than I expected.

For the final task, I personally feel it was the most enjoyable part of this module. It was satisfying to see everything come together in the end. Throughout this module, I also had the opportunity to try new software such as InDesign and FontLab.

Overall, during these 14 weeks, I have learned a lot about typography — especially how even small details can have a big impact on the final outcome, and how much thought needs to go into every design decision.
