Experience
Overall, I find Advanced Typography more enjoyable than Typography in Semester 1. Maybe it's because I'm fully adapted to Mr Vinod's system (maybe not lol). I enjoyed most of the tasks in this module, I was definitely more passionate in typography than before, I would say? The typographic systems took me the longest to get started on, I think it's because I haven't get to use InDesign that much after the Typography module so I didn't want to relearn it, but I managed to finish it. I had problem creating the radial system but I end up liking that the most. Finding type in objects was interesting because I did not know I could find letters in anything we are in contact with. Task 2 was my favorite, because I got to create an artwork related to my initials. Task 3 was the most challenging, I did not know how I should display my typeface on posters for the application.
Observation
I observed that recording progression of my work is a very difficult thing for me to do, I often neglect that part and end up having just the initial and final product without having an in-between. While crafting some of the letters and numbers of a typeface, I was reminded that some have a wider bottom than the top.
Findings
I found that Calligraphr is not a good software to work with. I realised FontLab was the best among Calligraphr, Fontforge and Fontlab. I've learnt that Fontforge sucks as aligning letters. I've learnt that before converting my typeface into a font generating software, my typeface in Illustrator should have as little points as possible so it is more accurate when imported into the software.
