Chaos is destruction itself the way I imagine it being difficult to see and bothers the eyes while looking at it.

Reading

Specific Feedback

Bounce 2 make it capital and make the letter O like it is bouncing up on the other letters

Chaos is not just simple font is aggressive destruction itself can add different fonts with and see how it there's out to be.

Spring can make the leaves in the word as a font itself also.

FEEBACK

I have shown Ms. Hsin took a look at my digital fonts that I have done, and she said that it was not approve because I did vectors in stand of only fonts, so I fixed it, and I also got a chance in class to do an animation with the word bounce that needs to be re arranged.

I have put it in simply way that id much better than the vector that was in the one before also clear and clean.

Fig.6 Animation week 3

Feedback: The animation needs a little bit more touch to it for example the line that looks like the bounce has come from one to go to the other side just need to rearrange also the letter O not like in the animation on top.

Just to make more like it is bouncing not jumping.

I used the font Univers to create my animations with and also with the wave on top that follow with the letter O.

Feedbacks

For the animation task I have learn something new that even myself I didn't know, and it was great to learn new things also was great to be designing your own animation you are creating.

Reflection

- Experience

It is not my first-time using illustrator, but the typography class is new for me by doing digital design which is a good experience for as I have learned but was having some difficulties with the illustration to have license adobe.

But, after the exercises, it really gives me more information about using the blogger and how to operate adobe illustrator from basic. What I feel for these exercises is really hard but fun to do. It's really challenging for me because I also got new knowledge for my design skill. Besides that, I got a nice lecture that could help me out whenever I find the problem while using Adobe Illustrator and gave opinion about my ideas so far.

Observation

On my first day of class, I think the atmosphere in university is really different than my Collage. We're just start learning and there is no time to knowing each other of classes first. I understand that situation because in the university, there are so many students that are from different countries. Same as design, where there are so many unique ideas in every exercises. That situation makes me learn that everyone has their own style. When making this task, we came up from different perspective so that in 1 word could gave various expressions.

Firstly, Typography is a mixed between font and expression art. The principles are thinking outside of the box but keep it simple. I have learned typography before, but it was more practical by drawing the fonts with pencil and paper, because I enjoy learning new things every day. I found out that this module is pleasurable because the consistency of learning. The lectures always gave us note as reminder for what should we do and what needs to be done.
