Overall i have found this course really enjoyable. The projects have been fun and have allowed us to explore a number of different aspects of typography and publication design. It has also been fun working as a team for the final project as it has felt more like something that would happen in the real world – when often projects seem pointless. The printing press project was also really good and meant we had to manage our time well in order to get it completed. The hands on approach to typography was really interesting as everything else I have done so far has been on the computer. Its good to get another perspective on this aspect of design.
I have found the lectures a little difficult – I would have preferred to come in and sit in the lecture theater and hear something because I find having the lectures online doesn’t give me much motivation to look at them. They are also a little less engaging because they lack the images a presentation would have. The lectures have been on useful topics and have helped me throughout the project, but I agree with Katherine that sometimes it is hard to understand some terms/concepts.
I think I have really developed my technical skills in typography and publication design throughout this course. My interest in this area has also grown as a previously didn’t know so much on it and I think it is something I will continue to read about to learn more.
