REFLECTION
Experience : 
When I first came to this degree, typography was very new to me and I have done a little bit of research of what is typography about. I though it is very simple as just designing letter form but it actually not. It is very detail and every single letter has their own meaning and their characteristics of communicate the message. From the very beginning, it was very difficult for me and I've got rejected for my work as I used the wrong format, the layouts are incorrect or many small little detail of mistakes are not allowed. I have struggled a lot but I appreciate for taking this subject because I have learned a lot of skills and I started to pay more attention on every details of my design work which is good I guess. I have learn more about Illustration and InDesign which is required in the subject. Overall the experience is great and challenging.

Observation :
 During this semester, I notice that I improved and my design work has became more details after joining this class. I never pay much attention for the details before as I though designing in multimedia doesn't need to be very detail in every single elements. At the very beginning I felt that I wouldn't enjoy this subject but as it went on I found myself enjoy in the progress especially I felt satisfy when I completed one task.

Finding :
I found that every small detail can make a huge different, such as the leading and ragging, kerning, the x-height etc. Besides, I gained a lot of knowledge in Adobe apps like skills of using Illustration, and after effects as well as InDesign that I've never used it before. I hope these allow me to improve my design ability in future.

Mr Martin and Mr Fauzi also provide us demonstration video of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects. PROJECT 2(A) - Photo Manipulation For our project 1, we need to make ourselves into cyborg in Adobe Photoshop. Sketching : AI is becoming more advanced by the day, and is replacing some of our jobs because it has physical or mental abilities beyond what human capable of. Everyone wants to become better and if there is a chance to make ourselves into cyborg, I think most of the people would definitely have an idea to which body part that they would like to change. I would like to change my arm to become cybernetic ...

It's a very old street and there are stagnant water on the road (after rain), I just simply take out my phone and place the camera close to the road and take reflection of the building.

I liked this picture becaus...
