Task 3B: Typographic Sticker Design
In our Task 3B exercise, we were assigned to create our own typographic sticker design, color it and use it in telegram. 
With the knowledge and experience gained in the Exercises, Task 1 and Task 2, Task 3A, synthesise and apply the learning in the following tasks:
Your first task is to express typographically a social message/greeting relevant to the campus community at Taylor’s University or society at large.
1. Set your artboard size to 512 x 512 px (Adobe Illustrator)
2. Choose an appropriate typeface from the 10 given
3. Use Black & White only until the design is confirmed/approved
4. Save artwork as PDF & PNG, upload/embed onto e-portfolio.
You may use minor graphical elements or visuals to aid in your message and design. You may use the appropriate colour schemes after getting the black and white version approved. Ensure that the expression occupies the space and is legible and readable for its intended use.
Upon completion of the designed sticker, selected stickers will be used for social platforms Telegram/WhatsApp.
Design an attractive, functional, and visually impactful sticker. You may use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for the task.
We have been given a few festival and holiday to choose

Reflection:
Experience:
For this task it was very fun for me at all,  creating a sticker was a new experience for me. In this task I was quite focusing on how to satisfied Mr.Vinod to let him approved my work. Otherwise, it was really fun to create my own sticker and it was a brand new experience. Lastly, thank you Mr.Vinod and Mr.Shamsul for the patient and useful suggestion.

Observation:
After finishing this task, I was very rueful on how difficult in making a typographical sticker. We need to paid attention to how originality for our sticker and readability for our whole sticker, we must be careful when designing our own sticker because it was very easy to follow the design of our research. 

Finding:
After this task, I learned a lot more than that. I realized that paying attention to even the littlest details of type can make all the difference in the world when you're laying out an email, ebook, or image for social media.

Before taking this course, typography -- to me, at least -- was more the art of scrolling through a dropdown menu until I found a font that looked like it could work. But it turns out there's a lot more to it than that.
Typography is the art and technique of arranging type, type meaning letters and characters.
Notice that it's about more than just the design of letters and characters; the arrangement of those letters and characters is just as big a part of it all. That refers to the selection of point size, line length, and spacing, both on a single line and throughout an entire page or piece of work.
