REFLECTION

Experience 

Looking back of the start of the semester 2, I would say, Advance Typography is not as stressful as semester 1 Typography, probably because I have the basic idea what to expect on this class. Mr Vinod and Mr Shamsul is not as strict as before, and joke around more around us as well and it really help me not to be too stressed. My opinion of this class is similar to the last semester's, I learn most in this class than any other modules, even when I am not going to graphic design as my specialization. Maybe for some people Mr Vinod's feedback is too direct, but I like that kind of feedback better.

My goal from this semester is similar to last semester's, I just want to do better than the beginning of the semester and try to do better each exercise and projects. I really think I push myself during project 1 and 2 the most.

Observation
Mr Vinod wears white for the whole 1 year of teaching me, except on 8 November 2019, he wears grey for Troublemakers Manifesto. I notice that Mr Vinod is more relax and happy this semester, he jokes around and smile more. I really hope this continue since he looks scary when he is frowning. Mr Shamsul also like to talk with our class outside of work unlike last semester.

I notice that doing a presentation really helping us understand that subject. I understand more some part of the module than just listening to lectures because we did research on our own. When making mockups for project 2 and print them out, it feels weird when you have your work in your hand. Also, because did our mockups on the computer, it is hard for me to imagine how big our work should be when printing them especially when it is our first time printing either shirt and bag. The work in computer will look smaller than the printed work so I need to be careful when putting my design on printing.

Finding
I find that it is difficult for me at first to let go my first ideas and work when being rejected, but now I see that  the work that got rejected is not the best version I can do or just doesn't work in general. During that rejections I manage to know what direction I should go and start going to that path little by little and start to understand. I learn to let go my previous idea to make a better one over time, not keep working on idea that won't work in the start.
