REFLECTION
Experience
In the beginning of the semester, I was totally afraid of seeing what 'advanced' typography would be all about. It was an intimidating title and I wasn't sure if I'd really like the projects that were going to be given to us. To my surprise, it wasn't as bad as I thought, yet it was still really tough to experience these sudden new things that I had to learn like the systems and making collaterals. It was fun to experiment but I still struggle greatly with making typefaces at all, I'm still unsure of how others do it to be honest. But I learned so much from it nonetheless and see typography in a new light.
Observation
As stated before, I still struggle with making unique and cool typefaces. However from seeing how my classmates make theirs I get a lot of inspiration, not enough for me to completely imitate of course. Simply just an observation! I do wish I could have been more brave and confident with my work too. I work best with color rather than black and white which is why I found the key artwork project rather enjoyable.
Findings
Typography has taught me to appreciate the text written on my screen a whole lot more. It's way more complicated than what regular people think, especially with creating one! I had no idea how difficult it really is. Everything goes into design, from typefaces to colors and images - it all has to be put together harmoniously for an appealing look. Those who are not designers overlook the importance of text, I think, and this class certainly taught me otherwise.
