REFLECTIONS

Experience
I found great pleasure in participating in a fascinating course that required thoughtful consideration of letter placement. While I had previously studied letter arrangement in my native language, exploring this aspect in English proved to be a valuable and enlightening learning opportunity for me.

Observation
In my observations, I've noticed a diversity of preferences among individuals when it comes to the prominence of a title. University students exhibit varying inclinations regarding the prominence levels they prefer for titles, suggesting a subjective and personalized approach to this aspect of design. This observation highlights the importance of considering individual preferences when creating visual content for academic purposes.

Findings
In my design process, I've noticed a tendency to finalize projects based on momentum rather than starting with a well-thought-out sketch. Recognizing the need for improvement, I aim to shift my approach towards creating more comprehensive designs by incorporating a detailed sketching phase. This adjustment is driven by a desire to enhance the planning stage of my designs and cultivate a more intentional and strategic approach to my creative work.
