REFLECTION

Experience
During my time learning typography, I've learned a lot from both the lectures and the tutorials. Mr Max also helped a lot during the whole typography lesson this semester. I enjoyed the classes and the tutorial session because it was very helpful for completing the tasks. Also because the classroom was very comfortable compared to the other classrooms. Throughout the whole assignment, I got to learn a lot of new skills, learn new apps, and got to know how to do a good typography design. This course is very interesting for me, it was both fun but also overwhelming at the same time. I can use the skills that I learned from this class in the future.

Observations
I observed that time management is very important especially in doing typography due to the many times I need to fix my work. I'm glad that I could finish the tasks on time and got to manage my time  very efficiently throughout the whole lesson. I also observed that the lectures and further reading helps me with understanding more about typography as a whole, the history, the different types of typography, etc. 

Findings
I found out that typography needs a lot of research because a lot of the task requires the students to do research to look for references and to help us understand about the topic/assignments that we need to do. I also found this lesson to be one of the most complicated lesson due to the many requirements that us students need to submit for each task and how I need to document each and every step that I do. But overall, typography isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

The photos that I took are myself, spaghetti, noodles, my hand holding chopsticks, and a plate. I took all of the photos myself using my phone and my desk light to help with some of the lighting. Here are the photos.  Fig 1.1.1 Pasta  Fig 1.1.2 Plate Fig 1.1.3 Noodles Fig 1.1.4 Hand Fig 1.1.5 Me The photos took multiple takes because a lot of them were too dark and I'm not satisfied by it.
