I honestly did not know what to expect when coming into Typo I because my knowledge about typography is pretty limited. If anything, the only thing I hoped to learn by the end of this module would be to understand what differentiates are good typeface from a bad one (and therefore learn how to defend my font choices because I always stumble with that when presenting my works to my lead designer at my previous workplace).
So far, after the first couple of lessons, I think I am probably going to achieve what I had hoped to achieve by the end of this course and learn a lot more along the way? I guess in some sense I also forgot to take into consideration how types were created and it is pretty cool that for our first assignment, we would be researching on a particular typeface, learning about how it was created and how it affected society. I guess by the end of the whole semester, I would also learn to be a lot more sensitive as to how type is being presented.
On the topic of the group presentation, our group is called Spaghetti Italy and we will be presenting on Comic Sans 😀
