REFLECTION

Experience
This assignment has taught me more about typography. I had no idea there were so many differences between fonts before this. From the first class of blog creation to the last class of fontlab, everything was my first contact. So of course I encountered many difficulties, but fortunately I had the help of the lecturer and classmates. Besides, I got hands-on experience with several software, such as AI, PS and InDesign. These software will be very helpful for my future.

Observation
I observed that fonts are very strict. The size and angle of the fonts most be consistent, and there is also a set standard for the distance between the fonts. For me, designing fonts is not very difficult. The difficulty lies in keeping the angles of all fonts consistent when digitizing. I made repeated adjustments on this step. Moreover, typographic expression attaches great importance to neatness, which can be seen in the distance between paragraphs and the word limit of each line,

Findings
I discovered the fun of fonts. You can design fonts in all kinds of ways, just use your imagination, but no matter how you design them, they must remain unified. The collision between the bizarre designs and the rigorous unity is both contradictory and harmonious, which I find interesting. Through this assignment, I have fully improved myself and can get started with those software more quickly. I also understand the importance of feedback. The lecturer's feedback can help us complete the assignment better.
