The typography class for today, discusses about the history of typography. Mr. Vincent explained in brief the history of typography which began with a historical explanation in Roman. There is a quote that catches my attention at the end of the slide

Feedback

Week 1 :
No feedback given

Week 2 : 
I made ten different fonts with fun theme and among them Mr.Vinod likes one font which is the  font with splash on top and says "just go with that one" . So basically, the font chosen by Mr.Vinod is to describe a fun theme because the font has a splash on it and it will show a fun situation.

Week 3 : 
Mr.Vinod and Mr.Shamsul said that my font gif is not telling fun, so they give me a suggest make a movement on font.

Week 4 :
I made 6 words with different writing and the six words Ioop, frozen, hungry, bounce, faint and leviatate. Mr.Vinod and Mr.Samsul saw and gave feedback from my concept and said that I should focus more on the font and this happened because I added some art to the draft, and not like a loop.
