REFLECTION
Experience
After these 14 study weeks, I went from being a blog novice to finally
becoming proficient in using blogs（Even though I'm still a rookie）, all thanks to Mr. VINOD NAIR's strict
requirements on us. Of course, as the saying goes, "a strict teacher makes
a good disciple", this is the truth. This teacher has strict requirements
for our blog content. It is very high and requires us to complete our blog
according to the format of the instructions. Therefore, I learned a lot of
professional skills and knowledge in typesetting during this period.
Through these 14 weeks of continuous polishing and modification of the
blog, I finally have a basic understanding of blogging. From the initial
"learning" from others' understanding and mastery, to learning to write
and improve myself to create a blog with a unique style of my own.
Observations
Over the span of these 14 weeks, my awareness of genre and its various
characteristics and subtleties has certainly heightened. I've developed a
habit of observing typography everywhere I go, engaging in subconscious
analyses—it's become an enjoyable pastime. Although I've long held the
belief in the significance of typography, it's only now that I'm truly
grasping the immense role it plays in design and, by extension, our daily
lives. Additionally, I found great pleasure in observing the work of my
peers throughout the semester. Witnessing the diverse interpretations of
various concepts added an element of fun and excitement to the overall
experience.
Findings
I used to think that typesetting was only related to layout design and
only involved the layout of pictures and text. It was not until these 14
weeks that I realized that typesetting design involves all aspects, not
only language and text, pictures and books, but also the entire history of
human language development. In the field of typesetting, take our current
blog as an example, typesetting is inseparable from it.
