Experience:
The learning experience and understanding I have
acquired before and after this course is significant.
Now, I enjoy doing typography art, and learnt alot in
layouts, visual balance, and so much more. When working
with titles and passing by Typography art, I learnt to
visualise and have an interest in deeply understanding
the behind-the-scenes of creating such a nice piece.
Learning typography was initially hard for me, but the
process was quite enjoyable. Both lecturers guided me
slowly and surely, it was crucial to also complete all
the tasks in time as it can really affect the timeline
of completing our assigned work.
I got to learn more about using Illustrator to create
typefaces that are unique. Learning new skills in text
formatting and text expression really allowed me to
further express my interests in designing, and also
convey certain messages through posters, books,
magazines and so on. I am really satisfied with the
final results and am excited to learn more. It is also
important to always update our E-portfolio, as I find it
is very useful when it comes to taking notes and
processes to summarise and reflect on what we have
learnt in total.
Observation:
I observed that I put more attention to little details
when creating typography art, such as fonts. I
definitely wonder upon the typography used in different
street banners and magazines. Besides that, I really
learnt to enjoy the process, although it was hard for me
to complete all the tasks while battling my health. I
learnt to manage my time more wisely so that I don't
have to finish all the tasks 1 class behind the rest of
my classmates.
Among these 3 tasks, I enjoyed task 1, exercise 1, the
most as animating was really new to me. It was exciting
to learn new skills throughout this journey. On the
other hand, I believe there was room to improve on my
last task, which was task 3. I think I could do better
to enhance my poster designs.
I am forever grateful for all the guidance, support, and
understanding from my lecturers and friends. Their
feedback has been helpful to me, and I have learnt many
new things just from listening to their perspective on
viewing my work. The insights definitely improved my
work.
Findings:
I found that all the completed tasks are in specific
colours, which is Black and White. I would love to learn
how to manage colourful typography art in the future. I
have observed throughout these weeks that most
typography art are in colours, and I know it might be
challenging to deal with colours. It would be great to
enhance my typography skills by learning these new
things.
I think research is quite important when starting on a
task that is given to us. It was challenging for me to
think of ideas on how to start on the tasks. Hence, I
have learnt to always look for inspiration online or
even physically through signs and packaging designs. I
sought inspiration from artworks on Pinterest, and
Google. It really allows me to think outside of the box
when creating.
Further reading was necessary to complete for every end
of the task. I have always done it after completing my
assignment. I have learnt that I should start on further
reading while completing the task, as it really made me
learnt new things but it was too late to apply it to my
previous assignments.
