REFLECTION:

Experience:

This semester, we acquired a variety of skills in text design, including cover creation, typeface selection, and placard development. The learning process was both engaging and challenging. While I encountered numerous obstacles, I successfully overcame each one. One particularly intriguing aspect was designing changes that align with the textual meaning, which greatly tests a designer's imagination. I believe that employing consistent methods can yield effective results, though designs are not always intended to deliberately impress others.

Observations:

Design is an integral part of life, manifesting in various everyday objects such as pens, keyboards, mice, and clothing. Identifying areas of interest and formulating your own perspectives and practices is, in my view, the essence of design.

Findings:

During this period of study, my aesthetic sensibility and perspective on design have evolved significantly. I have developed a greater appreciation for the design elements present in everyday life.
