REFLECTIONS

Experience: This semester of studying typography has been an experience for me. This semester's assignments allowed me to delve into various aspects of the world of typography, including type representation, text formatting, and also typography. Although doing these three tasks was difficult for me at first as I had not been exposed to typography before and did not have much basic knowledge. We also studied some typography theory during the semester, and each task in this module had a different challenge, but relative to that, this semester also gave me a lot, and it gave me a whole new knowledge that I can apply in my daily life.

Observations: This module has helped us a lot from learning and watching Mr.Vinod's videos, remembering a lot of basics, terms, and rules etc. Through Mr.Vinod's feedback, it allowed us to be more careful not to make the same mistakes and also learn some tips when Mr.Vinod was sharing his typography. From inspiration to results. I learnt that we must pay attention to the details and that in typography, details affect the whole effect.

Findings: Before undertaking this semester, I thought that typography was just words. But after studying this module, I think there is a lot more to typography that we have to take our time and pay attention to, it's not just about typography. During this semester I have had the opportunity to really study typography and complete tasks that have allowed me to apply my new found knowledge. We should need to be patient and pay attention to detail. This module made me realise that typography is not just about choosing beautiful fonts, it is also about optimising the readability and comprehensibility of text.

FURTHER READINGS

Fig. 4.1

Typography is a constantly evolving discipline that provides a concise and comprehensive overview of the information, vocabulary, tools, and methods used in effective typography design practices.

This book has a total of 13 chapters, including the history of typesetting and a series of content such as Anatomy, Legibility, and Typographic Grid.

Chapter 4: The Typographic Grid

This chapter discusses the grid of typography, a grid is a skeletal framework used by designers to organize information within a spatial field.

BACKGROUND: The grid as we know it today is rooted in the earliest written forms, from columnar cuneiform tablets impressed by the Mesopotamians as early as 3000 BCE, to hieroglyphic writing on papyrus.

STRUCTURE AND SPACE: Space is the common denominator for all typographic communication.

Fig. 4.3 Structure and Space

PROPORTION：Divided space is perceived as a system of proportional relationships.

Fig. 4.4 Proportion

THE SQUARE: A natural division of the golden section is the basic square.

Fig. 4.5 The Square

SINGLE COLUMN GRIDS: When text appears as a simple, linear narrative, as in the traditional novel or exhibition panel, it is often best to set it as a single block.

Fig. 4.6 Single column grids

MULTICOLUMN GRIDS: An elemental grid is based upon a Cartesian coordinate system of intersecting.

Fig. 4.7 Multicolumn Grids

MODULAR GRIDS: The modular grid offers opportunities to present more complex information with a high degree of accuracy and clarity.

Fig. 4.8 Modular Grids

IMPROVISATIONAL STRUCTURES: Improvisational structures evolve in response to the specific elements of information, as opposed to modular grids, which are predetermined organizational devices.
