Reflection

Experience
As someone who is a credit transfer student, there was definitely a few hiccups having this subject be one of the first ones that I did in my first semester. From the absents that was caused in the first two weeks of class to the vague understanding on creating proper letterforms. All in all, the experience was most definitely challenging and pushed me to my limits both physically and mentally. I had to really train and expand my design language to explore something more new, original, and modern. Even though there are some things that I wish I could have done better, I am overall glad with my outcome. 

Observation
Throughout this module, I found that times when I struggle and experience setbacks comes from cluelessness and uncertainty with myself. I notice that having little faith and trust over my skill leaves me stuck in positions of needing external suggestion and opinions. As soon as my brain clicks into place, everything can finally go smoothly with work alongside it. Similarly, I think it's encourage for someone to try and make a lot of mistakes when designing instead of being satisfied with one attempt. The important thing is finding and understanding that sweet spot.

Finding
Having illustration and concept art as my primary skill of choice and preference, it is worth mentioning that typography also has an extensive history and large of skills that one has to master to be able to use this knowledge correctly. From the books given to us by our lecturer, to the ones that I personally have found myself digging into. That being said, the list of rules, concepts, and ideas that usually takes place in these books don't always need to work and be put in paper. A lot of times, I find the most success when I understand the concepts rather than following them to a "T".
