TASK 3 / Type design and communication



Research

For my research I looked at 4 fonts that i found intresting from the ten fonts that Vinod sir gave us. I took letters from each font and studies how the letters are formed.

Research on fonts - Fig 1.1 (11.19.2023)

Sketching

Markers I used - Fig 1.2



The markers I used for this task are a 509A artline marker, green Stabilo highlighter and an Artline 100 marker.




I first began by making 3 sketches of fonts by using the 3 different markers.


Font sketches - Fig 1.3 (11.20.2023)


I liked how the Stabilo highlighter looked more compared to the other markers. I decided to explore its properties further.I ended up liking the Serifa styled font the most.


More font sketches - Fig 1.4 (11.21.2023)

Final physical sketch - Fig 1.5 (11,21,2023)


I then finished the final sketches on photoshop using the brush tool.

Digital sketches - Fig 1.6 (11.21.2023)


Digitization

For the construction of the font in illustrator I mostly used the stroke tool. I based the design heavily on the Serifa font. I trie to make sure that all the letters were as consistant as possible. I used different letters to construct other letters. For example with the letters 'C' and 'G', I can use the body of 'C' to easily contruct the letter 'G'.
Using the 'C' to make a 'G' - Fig 1.7 (11.28.2023)


Font making process - Fig 1.8 (11.28.2023)


After adjusting the Font using feedback from vinod sir, i ended up with this final outcome.


Final glyphs - Fig 1.9 (11.28.2023)


Fontlab


I imported all my letters from illustrator to fontalb and kerned the letters. I then exported the font and installed it to my computer. I named the font Yerif.

Fontlab process - Fig 1.10 (12.4.2023)

Fontlab process 2 - Fig 1.11 (12.4.2023)



Poster
Due to the limited words in the poster i found it quite hard to come up with a good phrase. I ended up coming up with the idea of someone staring at a light and being excited by how bright it is.

Poster process - Fig 1.12 (12.18.2023)


Final

Font download: Yerif

Fontlab screen grab - Fig 1.13 (12.20.2023)




Final poster (jpg) - Fig 1.14 (12.20.2023)




Final poster (pdf) - Fig 1.15 (12.20.2023)

However, it is not just the art of simply typing letters. It is arranging type to be readable and visually appealing. Fig. 1 Typography in everyday life Typography is something that is extremely important for a designer in any field. In fact, tyography is so prevalant in our everyday lives that we can see it almost anywhere we look. From directions on a sign to the apps on your phone. This is why making sure that the readabilty and effectiveness of your typography is so important. Before typography there was caligraphy and lettering. caligraphy is the style of writing and lettering is drawing out the circumference of the letter.

  Week 5 - 7 Name: Abdullah Yazdan Zahid ID: 0367869 Course: Bachelor of design (Hons) In creative media INSTRUCTIONS Google drive link Task 3 Create a new design based on the previously analysed design while correctly applying the principles of design in your work. Mood board Fig 1.1 references: Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 Sketches SKETCH 1 Fig 1.2 Fig 1.3 My first sketch was the least similar to the other sketches as I went in a more abstract and simple design. It shows a plastic bottle in the shape of a fish getting caught by a fishing hook represented by a straw. I also limited myself to only two colors for this sketch. SKETCH 2 Fig 1.4 Fig 1.5 For my second sketch I made it more comic style and created a scene were a cartoon fish is sitting in the middle of a trash heap in the bottom of the ocean pleading to save the ocean. I used gestalt theory by creating small silhouettes to create the illusion of a lot of trash being in the background. I also made a comic style spe...
