We have to understand the meaning behind the text and try to express the texts in the expression. the keying term refers to be automatic adjustment of space between letters. it is often mistakenly referred to as 'letter spacing' , In fact, lettering means to add space between letters. The addition and removal of space in a word or sentence is referred to as 'tracking'.
- Kerning : is to reduce spacing between letters
- Lettering spacing : increase spacing between letter
- Lettering spacing : increase spacing between letter
- Tracking : both reducing and increasing spaces between letter

Specific Feedback : Mr Vinod and mr shamus said I did a good job in my type expression " stress " but they gave some advice to improve on my art work, after getting the feedbacks from the lecturer I redo my art work.
Week 8
General feedback : We have to follow his system as in copying all the text into "in design" than spread it out and check how many page do we need in total, if were to follow his system there will not be much problem in the layout for the story book. We have to be consistent in the layout, font , the way we express our word or sentence. we have to express maximum 4 sentences.

Week 7
I was having trouble in the process, I had a hard time to do this story book because InDesign is new too me and I have not used it before so I was having trouble familiarising it in a short time because we need to finish the street book within 3 hours.
Week 8
I finally getting familiar with InDesign and understand how to do it in the right process and that went behind designing the layout , which made my progress on the story book very much faster n easier.

Week 8
I finally after familiarise the application and finally I can express all my ideas out and the spacing in-between every lines is very important because it can affect the design as a whole.

Week 7
I have to plan before hand when it comes to the type setting and layout of the story book design, because we have to keep the consistency of layout and typesetting throughout the whole story book.
Week 8
I finally understand why is typesetting and layout so important because if we have different type setting and layout the story book will look messy and the story does not look like one story it looks like every page have a different story.
