REFLECTIONS
Experience
This semester has been a transformative journey into the world
of typography. From exploring emotional expression through
type to mastering text formatting and experimenting with
custom type design, I’ve come to understand that typography is
far more than just arranging letters—it is a disciplined blend
of logic, aesthetics, and communication. Each project
presented its own challenges, pushing me to look beyond visual
appeal and dive into the structure and rationale behind type.
I am deeply thankful to Mr. Max for fostering an environment
where creative exploration was encouraged but guided by
constructive, technical feedback. This module has given me a
strong typographic foundation that will undoubtedly inform my
design practice moving forward.
Observation
Throughout this course, I’ve learned that effective typography
demands a designer’s full attention to nuance. Small tweaks in
spacing, alignment, or weight can entirely shift a
composition’s tone and clarity. It’s a discipline that trains
both the eye and the mind. This detailed observation has
become second nature to me—I now find myself analyzing type in
everyday contexts with a new level of scrutiny and
appreciation.
Findings
One of my biggest takeaways is that I have only scratched the
surface of typographic creativity. While I’ve made clear
progress, I also recognize areas where I can grow—particularly
in generating more original, expressive typographic concepts.
This course revealed just how powerful and diverse typography
can be as a visual language. To build on this, I plan to study
editorial design in more depth, drawing inspiration from
printed media such as magazines and books to refine my sense
of layout, hierarchy, and typographic voice. With continued
practice, I hope to push my work further in both creativity
and clarity.
