Reflection

Experience 
From my time that I've spent in this course, I've learnt a lot of things, such as keeping an e-blog or creating a font of my own. The tasks themselves were fun and all but were quite time consuming. There were multiple instances of where I did not understand the topic, and struggled with formatting the blog.  Everything is done with a motive behind it, just like kerning and tracking a wall of text so you can read it more clearly. 

Observations
I learnt to be more observant.  Pay attention to details and such to a degree of perfection. It was hard at first but I eventually got better at it. Not perfect yet but it's an improvement. There were things that obscure at first eventually became more clear, the more I know. How to express more in my type and why it looks better a certain way compared to the other.

Findings
In the end, if it's one thing I find to be intresting is that to make a good font you need consistancy. Keeping things consistant makes something instantly recognisable. And that goes the same for fonts and the lessons that I go through everyday.
