REFLECTIONS

Experience
My whole experience during this entire semester was really stressful and tiring. I admit that most of it was my fault, I was bad at managing my time, procrastinated a lot and wasted time doing other things, but I still had fun doing typography. Sir Vinod was also a huge help as he was honestly a lot nicer than the last time I saw him, kind of mellowed out a little. The finding type exercise was fun to do, taking pictures and trying to find letters in them, made me think of ways to twist the image to get what I wanted. Project 1 was fun as well, I was able to find ways to express myself, though it was kind of challenging. Project 2 was also very fun, having to make my own typeface and everything from scratch more or less.

Observations
I saw that I really needed to keep up with classes or I would be left behind and entire week or two if I missed out on one class. The schedule was so packed, I needed to do something almost every day of every week. This was probably a good thing though, since it probably builds discipline or something like that. Probably. Classes were interesting, diving much more into the process of making a typeface than the previous module in my opinion. 

Findings
During the duration of this module, I learned a lot more about typography, like the different type systems used in other media, ways to make my workflow easier for myself, and how much easier I was able to go through things after going through the previous module. This module was fun and easy to do if you are able to keep up with the classes.

Additional aspects like hierarchy, order of reading, legibility and contrast also come into play. Typographic systems are essentially a set of rules that can be followed to help with decision making. This can take away intuition in some ways, it also serves as a solid framework that helps learners be guided while developing their own intuition in their explorations. ...

We were also tasked with our first task which was composing an image with magazine cutouts. Week 2:  Since the air conditioning still isn't running, our class was cut short. We were taught on the rule of thirds that we could use to make our images easier to look at and how to use it to our advantage while composing the image. Week 3: We learned about the basic controls of photoshop but the power cut out around one and a half hours into the class so it had to be cut short again.  Week 4: We went through the basics of photoshop and were tasked to create digital collages for our assignment.

We had to make a shot list, draw up a storyboard, film everything, and edit together a short video and we needed to use one kind of visual effect in the video. I was grouped up with Racheal for this Project. I made the shot list and storyboard for the video. After a few consultations with Mr. Martin, we made the story for the video better.
