REFLECTIONS:

Experience:
Time flies. In a blink of an eye, 14 weeks have almost come to an end. It was a satisfying journey when to learning about typography deeper. The tasks for this semester were more challenging and complex compared to the previous semester. The flexibility of the task allows us to be more experimental. At the same time, we put more hard work into planning the project to work within our time. Besides, I truly appreciated the constructive feedback given by the lecturers and their words of encouragement. Sometimes, I felt demotivated when the outcome did not turn out what I expected. With the help of the lecturer and peer's advice, I could identify what to improve from a 3rd person perspective. However, Mr.Vinod always thought us to be more sensitive and independent to evaluate our work, which I think I will need to further improve on looking at 'a designer view'. Truthfully, it was a tough semester, but it was still manageable with regular self-discipline and motivation.
 
Observation:
I observed the timeline and topic for the task are slightly different from the MIB this time. However, it is a good sign that the lecturer did suitably adjustable according to our batch progress. For the content, instead of telling us what to do directly, it allows us room to explore and choose the theme that we are preferred. It was an excellent opportunity to define our style and discover which sector we are more interested in in the future (exp: task 2 key art & collateral). I enjoyed doing the task most, although it might be challenging to start everything from scratch. However, I think it's a good chance for us to do projects that can be applied in real life.
 
Findings:
Time management was a valuable takeaway from this semester as the project task is heavier than the previous one. We needed to be independent in tracking our progress while improving the designing part. Besides, it is time to stop being too dependent on the lecturer's feedback. Instead, we need to behave critical thinking skills to analyze the work we did. It is also essential to pay attention to the design industry around us and read more about design topics. This could help us to keep upgrading ourselves and be aware of the latest trend.
