REFLECTION 

I can state with confidence that my comprehension of typography has improved when compared to where I was in the first semester. I can still clearly recall how difficult it was for me to learn typography for the first time because I had no prior training or expertise. But with dedication and hard work, I was able to learn the essentials and improve my understanding of typographic concepts. I thought Task 1 was the most ideal of the tasks we completed. Even though Tasks 2 and 3 were more difficult for me, they also gave me the chance to learn something new. The value of efficient time management and improved preparation is one important lesson I took away from the process. I've come to understand that setting aside enough time for each task and creating a clear plan of action significantly improve the calibre and outcome of my typographic endeavours.
