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.
