TASK 3

Proposal:

Week 9  I created a proposal for task 3.



I decided on type exploration 2, creating a type face based of my wordmark form Task 2.

Fig 1.1 The reference for my type face.
Using my word mark I will create a full type face consisting of uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols. This typeface will be used to create an eco-friendly packaging company that uses recycled materials.

Digitalization:

Week 9 I began sketching uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols.
Week 10 I completed all the sketches and began digitalizing in Adobe Illustrator.
Fig 1.2  Sketches

Week 11 I completed the digitalizing in Adobe Illustrator and exported my typeface into Font Labs 7 to begging kerning and export as a font

Fig 1.3 Digitalized letterforms  in Adobe Illustrator.

Fig 1.4 Kerning measurements.

Fig 1.5 Kerning all the letterforms.

Fig 1.6 Finalized finished letterforms.

Font Presentation:

Week 12 I began the Font Presentation.
I went for an color scheme with an 'Eco-Friendly Vibe' and  added a pop of orange used elements from task 2 (the reference) and added a paper texture to the background to add depth and give that paper feel.

Font Application:

Week 12 I began the Font Application.
Using the theme of eco-friendly I created 5 mock-ups based of packaging and packing goods.

REFLECTION

Experience:
Overall this Task I learned how to create a font and present it as I was required to create a font based off the concepts in my propsal and the produce a font from sketching, digitalizing those sketches, making sure the measurmemts and proportions were correct, kerning in FontLabs and creating presentations and applications for that font.
Observations:
I observed the relationships between letters in the typeface, how to make a font represent something. The composition and balance of a typeface in a presentation and application context.

Findings:
I found out about the importance of creativity when making a font as many ideas already exist and when you think of an idea it is always a good idea  to check if it already exists online.

LEBON STEPHANIE AMELIE JUDITH 0362853 Task 1: Exploration TABLE OF CONTENTS: Instructions Task 1 Feedback Reflection INSTRUCTIONS TASK 1 Gestalt Theory: This theory is based off shapes/forms as the brain is designed to see patterns in visuals  Fig 1.1 is given below to help visualize the principles below. Principle of Similarity: grouping elements that are similar to each other. Principle of  Continuation: humans tend to view many objects as different. Principle of Closure: completing figures and forms. Principle of Proximity: grouping elements into a unified group. Principle of Figure/Ground: perception of objects either being in the background or foreground. Law of Symmetry and Order: balancing content in your composition. Fig 1.1 https://makeitclear.com/ux-ui-tips-gestalt-principles/ Contrast: There are several ways to create contrast such as 1. Size, 2. Weight, 3. Contrast of Form, 4. Contrast of Structure, 5. Contrast of Texture, 6. Contrast of Co...

Visual Analysis: Observation: This artwork a black and grey (monochromatic) artwork which use made using oil on canvas. The primary forms are the 3 circles in the center withe the largest wheel like one being the main point of emphasis, there is also frame like area with a shadow to give depth as if the rectangle is elevated above the rest of the art. There are also a lot of small shaded circles and dots surrounded with random lines that short of look like cells. Be...

Instructions. Exercise 1. Exercise 2. Feedback. Reflection. Further reading. LECTURES Week 1: In week 1 lecture I learned about the 8 Typographic Systems: Axial : all elements are organized to the left or right of a single axis.  Fig 1.1 Axial System. Radial : all elements are extended from a point of focus. Fig 1.2 Radial System. Dilatational System : all elements expand from a central point in a circular manner. Fig 1.3 Dilatational System. Random System : elements appear to have no specific pattern or relationship. Fig 1.4 Random System. Grid System : a system of vertical and horizontal divisions. Fig 1.5 Grid System. Transitional System : an informal system of layered banding. Fig 1.6 Transitional System. Modular System : a series of non-objective elements that are c...
