I have found this module very interesting and useful to help me in my future career. Typography and Layout have always been my interests within graphic design and i feel that i now have the confidence to use typography in all my designs appropriately.
Attending fun sessions has made me realise how much attention to detail typography needs, just like any other design based project. I feel like i have learnt a lot from designing small advertisiments to go in the yellow pages to setting up eight paged booklet to be printed. This has given me the knowledge and specialist skills to be confident enough to go out and work for clients. Also learning bits about the technical side of designing for print and how to go about discussing print related issues with printers, over the phone or face to face has been useful and will
definately be put into practice when a job comes about for me. Learning the correct language used within typography will also help when jobs are being sent off to print.
My favourite part of the typography session was designing my own business card and letterhead. My interests have been in corporate design and i felt i had the correct knowledge to put together a nice piece of design which i was very proud of.
My strenghts are definately in the type and layout area of design. Even though i would like to practice a bit more at packaging design this is something that i am looking to consider in my spare time.
Overall the sessions have been very interesting and useful and I will definately be using all the skills and knowledge i have used into all my design from this point forward.
