REFLECTION

 Experience

 Coming into this class, I did not really know what to expect. My idea of typography was calligraphy and lettering, and that was what I thought we would be doing throughout the class. However it all changed after our first lecture, this class was so much more complicated than I had expected. I experienced a lot of highs and lows throughout the entire semester. I struggled with coming up with ideas for some exercises, yet also genuinely enjoyed doing some of the exercises. Although the process of completing the exercises and projects for this class was pretty stressful and tiring, I feel accomplished to have got through the semester and I got to do lots of things I never thought I would be able to do.

Observation

 Since our first-ever exercise, I noticed that people around me were struggling as well, and I realized that typography is definitely not easy. I realized that I have a better understanding of typography now, I would pay attention to the formats of the texts whenever I type, etc. I now could tell when a certain design/font will be suitable, when to use a certain design, how to make texts more interesting and readable and many more. I found myself appreciating fonts and typography more, as I now know how difficult the process is.
Findings

 Throughout the semester, I found the class to be very quite challenging, as most of the exercises were works that I have never experienced before (like designing our own fonts). I think that most of the tasks require a lot of time, patience and focus, and a lot of trial and error. It definitely motivated me to try harder every time I fail a certain design, and I found myself working extra diligently for this class. I also found myself constantly thinking about how I can improve my work and became very open to any feedback that I am given. With the experiences that I gathered in this typography class for the first semester, I hope that I will be able to improve and create better designs for future modules/classes.

The first is the Water Rescue project and the second one is Taylor's Boutique Hotel project. I decided to join The boutique hotel project. We were then briefed about the project and were also divided into groups. Each group had to consist of students from different areas of specialization. My group members are Jessica, Jonathan, and Kenny. We also formed a group with other schools. All our work and discussion can be seen in our miro board below: Week 2 - Week 3 We then had our first meeting with the other teams and took note of what information we needed to gather.

Professional Developement Week

-
REFLECTIVE REPORT As this semester is my final semester, it was compulsory for me to attend  6 workshops or webinars during Professional Development Week. All the webinars I attended were very insightful and meaningful, and I learned a lot from them. Here are some of my key takeaways. I joined 3 different webinars on the first day, the first workshop I attended was the " Financial Literacy for Fresh Graduates " workshop by Maybank. This webinar taught me so much, including the budgeting rule, which states that individuals should split their money 50 percent on needs, 30 percent on wants, and 20 percent on financial goals. Furthermore, adhering to a budget plan is critical for tracking spending prior to generating the budget. Maybank also assisted me in gaining a better understanding of some of the elements. The first is Investment Preparation, which entails self-assessment and the creation of emergency reserves while understanding risk tolerance. The second section is Steps ...

28/03/2022 - 27/04/2022 (Week 1 - Week 14) Week 1 During our first class, we were briefed about what to expect for our major project / final year project. We were given 3 different pathways to choose from: 1. To find a client and work with them 2. Do a project based on our previous dissertation  3. Do a project based on UNSDG's Goals The first step was to choose one of the pathways and then think of a specific project we want to do. After doing research, I decided to do a project based on UNSDG's Goals. _______ Week 2 This week I started looking into what I could do to fulfill the specific UNSDG target and goal I chose. I chose UNSDG's third goal, "Good Health and Well-being" which is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages. I wanted to specifically focus on Mental Health which is mentioned in Target 3.4 -  "to reduce by one-third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health...
