4.0 REFLECTION 

4.1 EXPERIENCE

Advanced Typography has been an overall positive experience. It wasn't a great time by far, as I still take psychic damage every time I look at a serif font, but hey, I'm still alive. Jokes aside, while this module has been gruelling, it was also extremely informative in the way it shaped my view on type and text readability. 

All things considered, I'd rate Ad. Typo a 6/10.😌

4.2 OBSERVATIONS

This module has wormed its way into my subconscious. I can't look at media with text without thinking about the type design anymore. I see typography in my dreams now. It's terrifying. 

4.3 FINDINGS

After using Illustrator almost daily for the past semester, I can confidently say that it's my favourite software from Adobe.
