5. Reflection

Week 6
This week, I felt quite proud of my progress in understanding typography—especially in recognizing what makes certain type choices stand out more than others. At the same time, I noticed that I tend to hold back during ideation, often playing it safe instead of taking creative risks. Thankfully, Mr. Max encouraged me to break out of that mindset, and that push really helped me start exploring bolder ideas.

Week 7
This week made me realize just how much practice I still need when it comes to layout design. Even though I've improved, I became more aware of the tiny details that can really elevate a design. That realization has made me more focused and observant, always looking for new ways to refine and push my work further.
