REFLECTION

Experience: 
Compared to the previous semester, I learned more about typography, and I learned more and more deeply this semester. I am very happy that I have learned more through this semester, which has allowed me to improve myself very well. This knowledge will be of great help to me in the future, even if I may not necessarily engage in work related to this area, but I think this knowledge will help me invisibly. It can help me improve my aesthetic ability and technical level, and contribute to my future development.

Observation: 
I observed that there is not just one system for typographic, there got eight different system. Each system has a different layout method. These system let typography look less rigid and different styles use different systems to make the typography look more vivid. Besides, the key artwork must retain the character of the original letters while pursuing creativity. People must be able to recognize the alphabet. The color palette also needs to have dark, light and neutral colors, it can't just consist of dark or light colors.

Findings: 
This semester is much more complicated and difficult than the last semester. On the contrary, I also gained a lot. For the first time, I learned how to create a model, how to understand what the typeface was trying to convey, and how the uppercase and lowercase letters had to be the same width. These are things I have never been exposed to before. I have improved myself very well during this semester and also improved my proficiency in software.
