REFLECTIONS:
Experience:
This semester's study has brought about a fundamental
change in my understanding of fonts. From the initial
intuitive operation to the gradual mastery of design
principles and typesetting logic, my understanding of
fonts is no longer as simple as "good-looking" or
"aligned". Through several phased tasks, I gradually
established a way of thinking about font design: how to
organize text, how to make the content rhythmic, and how
to balance visual appeal and information communication.
I am particularly grateful to Mr. Max for his guidance
and suggestions throughout the process - he always
points out key technical issues while we are free to
create. This course not only improves my design ability,
but also makes me realize that behind creativity is a
solid structure and specification.
Observation:
In the process of continuous practice and correction, I
gradually realized that font design is a job that relies
heavily on observation. Slight differences in detail
processing often bring completely different visual
experiences. Sometimes just a little more spacing
between letters will make the entire line of text look
fragmented; and the smoothness of a curve may also
determine the refinement of the font. This sensitivity
to details is something I have been constantly training
in this course, and it has also taught me to be more
patient and precise in treating each design
choice.
Findings:
Looking back on the whole process, I also clearly saw
some of my shortcomings in the innovation of some fonts.
Although I can master the basic layout structure, I
still need more accumulation and attempts in how to make
the font express a more unique personality. Through this
course, I realized that fonts are not only the shell of
text, but also a tool for conveying emotions and shaping
atmosphere. In the future, I plan to study more about
the layout forms in daily media, such as books,
magazines, etc., to improve my comprehensive ability in
layout, font style selection and visual guidance.
