Experience
I've learned through this semester's typography lesson that typography is not
what I initially thought. I've learned from this class that it's important to
do research and actually learn typography rather than just listening to the
lecture. The fundamentals of typography, such as type anatomy, letter spacing,
kerning, leading, and hierarchy, were covered in-depth as the weeks went on.
Our typography lesson stressed the value of intellectual thought and
creativity in addition to the technical parts. We were pushed to explore
unique layouts, novel compositions, and typographic expressions that
communicated abstract ideas in order to push the boundaries of conventional
type. The teacher's teaching was also very detailed and would let us list the points that were not clear.We were urged to use critical thinking, follow our creative
inclinations, and take calculated chances with our designs during these
exercises.
Observations
In typography, I developed a keen awareness of the subtle forms and shapes of
individual letterforms and observed how even the smallest change can radically
affect the personality and mood of a typeface. In addition, I started to
understand how carefully positive and negative space interact, realising how
doing so may significantly affect a design's legibility and overall
composition.I learn how to using the software that didn't explore it before.Typography emphasises what we can create and learn about it, which
distinguishes it significantly from the other modules. We were aggressively
encouraged to question the norms and investigate novel typographic approaches.
Findings
I learned during this 14-week semester of classes that I am not particularly
good at noticing the details. It was difficult for me, despite my best
efforts, to concentrate on the subtleties of typography and to carry out
accurate letter spacing, kerning, and leading. I tried to improve my focus on
the details during the assignments for class. But I frequently found it
difficult to get the appropriate level of precision. Sometimes I would miss
minor typographical or alignment issues until Mr. Vinod or my fellow
classmates pointed them out during feedback session.My path of engaging in
design work has enhanced my understanding of the delicate balance between
artistic expression and adherence to design standards as well as increased my
awareness of the significance of detail. I've been able to produce designs
that embody accuracy, craftsmanship, and aesthetic sophistication thanks to
this transforming experience.
