REFLECTION
Experience
Coming into semester 2, as I had some problems with my module, I missed the first 4 weeks of Advanced Typography. I thought that having had previous experience in doing Typography in semester 1, I thought that I could keep up with the tasks given in Advanced Typography even though I was late into the module. I struggled keeping up with the task for the upcoming weeks even though I have tried my hardest. Nonetheless, It was a enjoyed Advanced Typography and have definitely gained new knowledge from Mr Vinod. Task 3 was really challenging for me as I wasn't really good at using the FontLab software. At the end, I still managed to pull through which was very relieving.

Observation

I observed that I was struggling with time and the task given. On top of that, with FontLab it really put a toll in my work space. At the end, I was glad that I managed to finish all the tasks even though I was late on some submissions.

Findings

While working on Task 2 & 3, I found out that branding could really have a good impact for a brand if it was executed nicely. This really helped me to try and get the work with the best of my ability. Lastly, I have really enjoyed all the tasks given and have found out many new knowledge that I could use for my future endeavours.
