6. REFLECTION

Experience
I didn't have any experience with Typography before going into this module. I never really bothered to look into it. Now, after learning everything that was presented here, I can say for certain that Typography isn't as easy as it looks. I've learned how to present meanings visually through words, design paragraphs and make my own font.

Observations
Throughout the semester, I've noticed my affinity for using geometric shapes such as squares and triangles. I find them easy to work with as a starting point for creating designs.

Findings
I found that I've gotten a better understanding of vector images as well as using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign as I often struggled with them. I've also gotten better at keeping consistency in my designs.
