Semester 1 Reflection

Experience

For this whole semester, I learnt so many things from typography class. Before I choose this major I didn't use Adobe software but I learnt so fast so many software. in the beginning of this semester I hated typography class because had to redo every time and was so difficult ( especially, because cannot use pictures to express the work) however, later I enjoyed a lot I didn't realize that can do so many things with type design. I learnt how to express our thoughts without using pictures. 

Observation

I'm not good for time- management.time- management is very important for designers. Actually, I learnt how to do my work in time. when the lecturer said to redo the assignment, I cried in my room however, I realised redo assignment is good because I'm trying to make better. 

Reflection

It was a great challenge to complete this semester but it was helpful for learn so many things not only for the subject but also for the whole design course. i remember once Mr. Vinod said that if you're working hard and have a creative mind that's best and can improve, and if you're working hard but no creative mind that's also can improve, and if you're not working hard but have a creative mind that's also can improve, but if you don't have both then cannot improve. so basically, for designers/ students need a creative mind and hard working to make designs.
