As a whole, I have really enjoyed this semester on typography & publication design. It has really opened my eyes to new ways to use typography, which I have found really interesting.
It was great using the letterpress in project 1. Very interesting to learn about alternate methods for typographical design in the digital age that we live in. I have a greater respect now for the book publishers of the olden days!!
Project 2 I didn’t find all that inspiring as it was quite similar to a graphics/media project we did last year. However it was good to do some more work on book/magazine layouts and learn more about grids.
I have really enjoyed project 3. While it has been very stressful at times, it has been a really great experience working as a team. I agree that it is great insight into how the real design world works and nice to branch out from working by oneself. So overall, a great and beneficial experience for us all!
While I very much liked the convenience of the online lectures, I found it hard if there was something I couldn’t quite understand not having a lecturer to ask the question to immediately. And it would also have been good to have the visual aspect of an in-person lecture. But the topics were interesting and I learnt a fair bit from the lectures.
As a graphic designer it is great to get a better understanding of typography and how to make it work with our designs. This course has given me some great new skills and a good base knowledge on typography, which I hope to further in the future. Thanks Wing and Ian!
