Reflections 

Experience:
This year is my first time to study design at Taylor's University, before I started the first semester, I thought typography was a very easy subject, but I was super wrong. I 've learned so many things from Mr. Vinod and Mr. Shamsul, such as letterspacing different typefaces, and so many other techniques I've never heard before when I come to the class. Because of the corona virus, I cannot come to Malaysia and learn the lesson face to face with the lecturers, so It is new for me to learn things through the online learning system. I can feel it, the online class is way different with the face to face learning, and Typography is not a easy class, I've felt difficult at around week 5 already, and it's just first year, I can't imagine how hard it's going to be in the following semester.

Observations:
I never knew typography is a important class when I learn this subject. I thought to design typefaces is easy and boring, now I know I was wrong. Because when I use Illustrator to search the typefaces, there are more than thousand of different typefaces in the software, after then that, I knew how fascinating Typography is.
Findings:
In this class, I've found out that Adobe Illustrator and Indesign are very useful software and now I know how powerful that these two software can be into my lecturer's hands. I've never knew that there's a difference between ENTER and SHIFT+ENTER, the letter spacing, cross alinement and so on. The lecturers in this class pushed me and give me feedbacks that I can improve my works to make them better. I've learn a lot in this class.
