Typography - Type Expression
Instructions:
In before the class session takes place by presenting one second task to all of the classmates, Mr. Vinod reminded us and also gave some tips on how to update our blog in a simple and brief way so that is it easier for us to manage. Sir then gave everyone a heads up on when and where we should ask him questions about our progress and not doing it on last minute. He uses me as an example to tell the class that i seek for his advise days before the assignment is due. He then proceed on telling us how should a photo been taken in a proper way to upload it to the blog. After the briefing done, we took our turn to present what we had done for task 2. After all the sharing session from fellow classmates, Mr. Vinod proceed on teaching us about types of fonts and ask us to create our on font by using words to describe ourself. he ended the class session by introducing a new task.
Type expression (20%)Task 1: Identify 4 words that describe you. You will then express typographically the meaning of these words without the aid of a visual. You are only allowed to manipulate the type to express the inherent meaning of the chosen words.
Draw two 7cm squares on an A4 graph paper using a pencil. Ensure the boxes are centered vertically and horizontally in the A4 paper. Do the same for two other sheets of paper to obtain 4 squares in total.
Draw and express you respective words. Upon approval digitize your artworks using Adobe Illustrator and print them out. Update your eportfolio throughout the task and ensure every aspect of the process is documented methodically.
Marking criteria: Your work will be judged on whether you have been able to capture the meaning or action of the chosen words through your designs. The designed words in the type expression task must showcase sensitivity in balance, proportion and composition. It must reflect the inherent meanings of the words. You will be judged on whether you have demonstrated critical thinking and exploration. This evidence must be visible in your postings in the eportfolio and your in-class process work.
Process
diagram 1this was my first draft after i did returning home after the class on that day.came out with quite a few drafts and decided to use these few words and fonts and my first draft.
"more process will be uploaded soon."
"more process will be uploaded soon."
Experience:
so far from what i word i have chose and created that suits my personality the most, i think that there is more space for me to tweak things around and make it more into the character. the reason behind creating the font for "outgoing" was because i personally like to explore new things rather than sitting at home doing nothing. hence, the result of different patterns that occur in the font which makes it more lively.
obersevation:
throughout the trial and error, i realized that once again creating a font that suits the word itself aint easy. but it is also something new again for me to explore and create better outcomes.
Findings:
most of the word came to me by getting feedback from relatives and friends about how am i in person when they first and after they met me. but research is still needed to enhance the progression of my work.
