REFLECTION


Experience
For me, typography has been one hell of a ride. I feel like I have the most difficulty trying to express the text to my liking. Looking back at my work, I feel like I still have a long journey to be a good typographer. I still have some difficulties expressing text formats to make it look interesting, and I also need to practice to think outside the box and explore more layouts. I feel like I still lack a lot of knowledge and reference for typography, but I will continue to learn and explore to be better little by little.

Observation
I'm really amazed at how good other people's work is. Some of the works are so good it makes me feel small and a bit discouraged. But I always try to overcome that negative thought and try to improve my work, even if it's only a small improvement. I feel like I have very little knowledge regarding typography, and I'm not sure if others are the same. But just because I started to learn a bit late doesn't mean I'll back down now.

Findings
Some people have difficulties in these projects, while others excel at it. I think I'm somewhere in the middle. I feel like I know what I'm supposed to do with the process, but I find it hard to make interesting layouts and execute the work. During that time, I usually just look into other's people work. I try to take soma inspiration for them, while trying to minimize plagiarism. Although it helps, sometimes it also backfires and limits my thoughts from exploring new layouts.

6.2.2024 - 18.2.2024 (Week 1 - Week 3) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Information Design - Exercises Exercise 1 - Quantify and Visualise Data In this exercise we're required to quantify our chosen objects and arrange them into a presentable layout or chart. The information must be presented as is, and we need to arrange the objects with relevant indicators written out with pens to help you visualize the quantity and data. The examples of objects we can use are buttons, coins, lego pieces, M&Ms, and even survival kits with what we have at home. As an international student, the items I have in my place is very limited. I have no spare buttons nor lego bricks, let alone survival kit. So I decided to go with the object I have at the moment: coins.  fig 1.1 my pile of coins I took all the coins I have in my wallet...

I scrolled through the channel to decide which video I want to make an infographic of. After some scrolling, I decided to make an infographic poster of  "How to make Sardinian ravioli filled with orange and saffron ricotta" The first thing I had to do is to watch the video and write down some notes on the recipe and cooking tutorial. I tried to catch every little detail that I think is important for the infographic. fig 1.1 Watching the video while making some not...
