Task 1: Exercise 1&2

LECTURES 1 (WEEK 1 TYPOGRAPHIC SYSTEM

The Typographic system refers to the structured hierarchy and organization of type within a design. It encompasses various elements such as typefaces, font sizes, line spacing, line length, and color choices that works together to create a cohesive and harmonious design also layout when using the 8 typographic system.

Week 1: We were explaining the module how it would be that Mr. Vinod briefs us about and also how to begin preparing ourselves.

Fig.22/04/2024 Week 1

The above are examples of the 8 typographic system.

Axial
Radial
Dilatational
Random
Grid
Modular
Transitional
Bilateral

Fig.1 28/04/2024 week 1

Axial: All elements are organized to the left or right of a single axis.

Radial: All elements are extended from a point of focus.

Dilatational: All elements expand from a central point to a circular fashion.

Random: Elements appear to have no specific pattern or relation.

Grid: A system of vertical and horizontal division.

Modular: A series of non-objective elements that are constructed as a standardish unit.

Transitional: An infernal system layered bending.

Bilateral: All texted is arranged symmetrically on a single axis.

EXERCISE 1

Typographic System

-For this exercise as given to us we were supposed to use the 8 typographic system to design our layout using InDesign as follow in the module booklet:

Fig.1.1 week 1 28/04/2024

-By choosing from these three and also with the information below to include with our process of designing. size: 200mm x 200mm, only one other besides black, Graphical elements can be used but limitedly.

PROGRESSION

As for an example of Mr. Vinod recapping with us about using InDesign to fresh from what we learned from semester 1 last year by in his videos using Axial where he shows before and after the text when aligning it before making it croaked.

Sketches of the first two typography system (Axial)

Fig 1.4 week 2 29/04/2024

First idea of the typography system Axial on the left the top lettering was not accurate also the next one was also not proportion and is not align well with the single axis.

Specific feedback: The first trial Mr. Vinod said is good, but the place of the event was missing so I had to arrange it and make it on the axis. For the second one it was out of balance and wasn't good so for this I had to replace it also with the same but in another way.

EXERCISE 2

TYPE & PLAY

For my exercise 2 I choose the idea and references pipes like you can see below the different types of pipes and I went with the three one that was more interesting for me.

Fig.2.3 week 3 06/05/2024

Fig.2.4 week 3 06/05/2024

As the progress of breaking down and looking for the letters I finally found them and was wavey and cave way like pipes supposed to be I have extracted the fonts from the reference and as you can see in the photo above the extraction is a bit out of place, so I tired making it straight.

For my font that I choose is Gill sans MT which is the same approach as the lettering I have extracted almost same resemblance.
