REFLECTION
Experience
Embarking on the journey of learning typography has been a profound and transformative experience for me. Initially, I found myself overlooking the intricacies of the text that surrounded me. However, as I delved into the world of typography, my perspective underwent. remarkable shift, prompting me to keenly observe and appreciated the nuanced details of text in my everyday environment. Moreover, I thought the task from throughout this module really related to one another. The feedback I got from Mr.Vinod every week also help me to improve my skill.

Observation
Over the 14 weeks, my perspective of typography is no longer the same. Typography is not just a text, it's a nuanced art form that permeated our visual landscape. I've developed a habit of analyzing fonts in everyday life, and practical projects have solidified my understanding of typography. In addition, witnessing the diverse interpretations of my peers has been enlightening.

Findings
Previously, I think typography is just a simple text, but after learning through this 14 weeks, I realized that small details is really important. Not only we need to have a creative mind, skills are also important in typography especially when we are doing our final task, which is making our own font. For me, I really enjoy this module.
