REFLECTIONS 

Experience: This module deepened my knowledge in typography. I found myself challenged with every new assignment. I enjoyed this course, mainly task 2, which as an assignment I had waited a long time to work on. I struggled the most with Task 3, however I am quite fascinated with experimental work, and hope to be ore successful with it in future. Overall, advanced typography was something that sparked a lot of curiosity within me. I was more engaged in classes, however found myself missing more classes this sem.


Observations: I observed that I tend to finish my submissions on time, but procrastinate updating and submitting on the e-portfolio, which is something I need to work on for future modules. I observe that through past pupils work, I am able to amend my work and better understand the brief and its standards. It is through trial and error that work improves.


Findings: I found myself falling behind quite easily. Time management is something I hope to work on, with every passing day, a small update in work and e-portfolio simultaneously is enough. I found myself more engaged in classes, however missing a lot of them. I found that further reading benefits the quality of output, if practices, inspiration, and techniques are applied. Lectures were good in understanding the basic history and origin of typography and certain practices.
