Lecture
Today's class, we jumped right into it. We were individually consulted to figure out what our final designs were. Mr. Vinod instructed us to draw out our final image of our font, only then were we suppose to begin editing it together on Illustrator.
Task 2 (15%): Type Design
You are to design a number of alphabets and punctuations, as determined by the teacher. You will begin by sketching and exploring a minimum of 3 options.
You are to design a number of alphabets and punctuations, as determined by the teacher. You will begin by sketching and exploring a minimum of 3 options.
The sketches of the alphabets are to be submitted on A4 graph paper for selection. As always, you will understand, analyse and reflect on the knowledge acquired during the allotted weeks for the task in your ePortfolio.
Starting with the letter “o” design a string of alphabets of similar characteristics. The subsequent letters must spell your name and therefore the characteristics of the letters must represent your personality.
Process:
Final Submission
Feedback:
My feed back on the presentation of my font on Illustrator the first time round, was that I needed to edit my letters a bit more to make it look sophisticated.

Experience:
FRUSTRATING. ILLUSTRATOR IS NOTHING LIKE PHOTOSHOP. The "undo" button and Youtube tutorials were my best friends during this project. I've kind of got a hang of it, but things still disappear randomly when I'm trying to do something, and click the wrong tool - or button. I don't even know what. It just disappears, and I have to figure things out from square one again sometimes.

Observations:
Regardless of the speed bumps, editing work is always fun for me. It was a good learning process for me, creatively. Learning how to create a whole new font according to myself.
Findings:
I want to be better at Illustrator! There are so many tools and I've been seeing different examples of designs that can be achieved so perfectly on Illustrator. I'm looking forward to learning more.
