Final Reflection: 

When I started this module, I immediately realised that this module was more structures compared to my other design modules. There were more things to read in order to understand how typography works which made sense. Typography is a subject where it is literally about the structure of letterforms and how they came about. 

In terms of using Illustrator, I would definitely say my patience has improved over time as typography forces me to nitpick and patiently run through each stroke/shape over and over again. Even though this module was more structured, there was much to learn from it as no matter how fluid art can be, we need to build our foundations right before embarking on more complicated graphics. 

A huge thank you to my lecturers and coursemates! Mr. Vinod & Mr. Shamsul really helped in shaping us for this module. They introduced the idea of peer feedback which was really helpful while also providing their expertise. With this module, I was able to meet many creatives and friends, making this semester a whole less lonely.
