Experience
Overall, I had a fruitfull time learning typography. Although I had some interest in typography before taking this session, I never really got to the point of studying it as a subject. At first, each activity seemed simple and straightforward, and I believed the process may be very easy. In reality, the procedure took a lot of time and required close attention to every detail and I think is a challenge for me, but I overcame of the difficulties, I enjoy the happiness when I got to finish all the difficult tasks and got good feedback from mr.Vinod..
Observation
I had developed the habit of learning how typography is applied in our daily lives as I studied typography over the course of the weeks. In order to "assess" the typographic choices made on those objects, I would study the typeface and text formatting used in brand logos, product packaging, and various sorts of media. I could also tell that my sense of type and text formatting had greatly improved. I could tell from the results and my personal experiences that I have learned the one which I like the most is type expression and typeface design.
Findings
I've discovered that typography is really interesting to me as there are still so many to learn much more. Ty pe has a complex history and a set of norms to abide by, studying it requires more time and effort. Recently, I came to the realisation that while most viewers are used to reading regular and conventional-looking typefaces, unusual ones can be challenging to read and comprehend. While designing unusual-looking typefaces could be enjoyable, there is a chance that it could compromise the letterform's legibility and readability. I believed that creating a typeface was an exercise in imagination, exploration, and personal expression.
