Reflection

Experience:
The typography class opened a new world for me, igniting my passion for design and font exploration. Learning how typography shapes design and delving into its historical evolution, from printing machines to modern devices, was both enjoyable and insightful.

Observations:
In this module, I've learned that typography hinges on a keen eye for detail, where even small changes affect readability and aesthetics. This extends to text formatting, an aspect often overlooked. Typography is not just about aesthetics; it involves readability and accessibility. My increased awareness since starting the module has led me to appreciate typography more deeply, understanding the intricate processes involved.

Findings:
Typography involves more than typefaces; it's about meticulous attention to details, like kerning, to ensure optimal readability. Understanding the history and evolution of typography is crucial. I'm pleased with my work in this module, putting effort into applying concepts correctly. Meaningfully, feedback sessions helped me develop good judgment, refining my skills and improving my designs.

While some feel these impositions take intuition away from a teaching point of view, they provide a solid framework that allows learners to be guided in their exploration while intuition develops. Axial - text is on the left or right of the axis, the axis can be a straight line or bent line Radial - text is extended from a point or multiple points of focus Dilatational - text extended from a center point in a circular form Random - text has no specific pattern or relationship Grid - a system o...

MYRA ELIDA BINTI ABD AZIS 0358516 PACKAGING AND MERCHANDISING DESIGN / MER60104 TASK 1 /  CASE STUDY & BOX MAKING Module Information Booklet Progress Case Study We had to choose one existing packaging design and study on the entire design, practicality, ergonomics, target audience and how the packaging carries the brand image. Then, write a short report based on our observation and research. Draft : Fig 1.1 Final : Fig 1.2 Box Making We had to choose 2 loose items and design a box for each item. Final : Fig 2.1 Fig 2.2 Reflection Designing packaging taught me the power of intentional visuals and how each design choice impacts brand identity and customer perception. Through this process, I learned to prioritize both creativity and functionality, ensuring symbols like a sun for UV protection or a raindrop for hydration not only conveyed product benefits but also engaged the senses. Incorporating natural elements, like apple and matcha, reinforced the product's essence, while bala...
