REFLECTION:

Experience
The way of me leanring typography is quite up and down. The first thinking of me when I heard Typography, I think it is just do some arrangement to the text such as copy an text and pate it in InDesign and arrange it in a small way. But, after I start learning this course, I think this is the hardest course that I have. I know that typography is way how to express the word not just some emotionless text. This 14 weeks make me from a guy that don't have knowledge about typography to a man that respect typography-lover/expert.

Observation
From the task given, I leraned that kerning, tracking, typesetting and more are difficult when required to present a perfect article. The expression of the text are also need to have be the correct meaning to the word to let the audience clearly knowing what the word is expressing. Font design also not as easy as I known, it need some patpatience to the the details such as spacing on each word's combinations. Sticker design is much easier than others because it is the last task and I already have the experience of the tasks before so it is quite easy to me.

Findings
Throughout this semester, I have found out that the diversification of typography. The typography art that I usually seen in Instagram changed when I know how typography work. I can now know that those artworks are in another level.
