REFLECTIONS


Experience: Typography is a very intresting and complicated subject. I enjoyed using different softwares like InDesign and Illustrator to do the work. However, I was not very good at keeping my E-portfolio properly updated. I struggled to properly record the process in which I did my work.

Observations: During my typography class, I delved deep into the art and science of arranging type to make written language readable and visually appealing. This experience not only broadened my understanding of design principles but also ignited my passion for the subtle yet powerful impact of typography in communication. I now notice it in my everyday life.

Findings: I found that my time management skills are not very good. I tend to leave my work for the very last moment and contemplate too often.

However, it is not just the art of simply typing letters. It is arranging type to be readable and visually appealing.

  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...
