REFLECTIONS

FEEDBACK:

In this class I feel this is very helpful for me about typography and I had learn many things form this class such ask typefaces, kerning, and formatting text. Next, I also experience the adobe illustrator and photoshop. But I'm not so familiar with all those tools. I feel formatting is helpful for me.

OBSERVATIONS:

This class was quite fun the formatting text was fun and we had learn how to defines the aesthetic and also what makes a text comfortable to read and it was fun.

FINDINGS:

In this few weeks I feel typography is not all about words only it have more to learn and know the rules of typography and how we can formatting a better text for people to read.
