REFLECTION
Experience
At the beginning, I don't have much confidence in this typography course. For me, mastering this knowledges and skills takes time for me to slowly understand. There are many setbacks and things that do not go well along the way. However, I am still grateful to be able to study this course. Even thought the final outcome may not be that great, at least I learned a lot from it. I am also satisficed that I did not give up because of the difficulties during this period, but worked hard and tried my best to complete the task.

Observations
Overall, I observed that all of the tasks given had let us better understanding on the basic of typography. Besides, I have a new understanding of this course. It is not as simple as I thought at first . Of course, I learned that doing research is really helpful step for design as we can learn from others' examples. The most important thing is not to be afraid to try even if you do it wrong because mistakes make us grow.
 
Findings
From this module, I realized that there are so many different details of the letters, fonts, typefaces and even a lot of rules and details that we usually do not discover in our daily life. After I learned typography, I found many things about it in life such as the word of signboard. I will also like to study how to use the rules of typography to create good-looking typefaces, rather than just creating it without following the rules like art.
