REFLECTION
Experiences
On the first task, we had 2 exercises we needed to complete. We were
assigned to create 8 different posters that implements the 8 typographic
systems on the first exercise. At first, I was quite shocked since I had
to make 8 different posters. But, once I got a better understanding of the
systems and experimented with different designs. It was not as
overwhelming as I thought. Then on the second exercise, we had to dissect
letterforms from images. I had a lot of fun dissecting the letterforms, it
was very interesting to see the letterforms development. After dissecting
the letterforms, we had to create a movie poster with it. To be honest, I
had a bit of a hard time creating it and I was a bit confused at the
start.
The second task that we had to do was creating our very own wordmarks. I
can't lie, I had the hardest time finishing this task compared to the
others. I was very overwhelmed and confused while developing it. So, I did
some more research and looked into more references to try and develop it
as much as I could. Creating the wordmarks was the first part of task 2,
we needed to create mockups, exploration, and an animation. During the
period of creating the mockups, I was so confused since I have never done
so before. I did not know how to do it or where to start. But once I did
some more research, it was fun creating it. Though for the exploration, I
did not feel as overwhelmed as confused. I had a lot of fun exploring the
identity of my wordmark. For the last part of the task, which is creating
the animation. To be honest, I was having fun learning to make the
animations. It was a lot of experimenting, but I'm glad that I got to
create several animations and learn from the experience.
The last and third task on this module, we had to make our very own
workable font. Then after making the font work, we had to make the font
presentations and applications. When I was making the font design, I did
redo some of my letterforms. It took some time and I was really behind,
but I did not regret it since I wanted to create something that I was
happy with. Plus, I got a lot of learning experience from it so I have no
regrets. After my font design was done and I made it typeable, I had so
much fun exploring the different ideas with my font. I like to see the
development of my own font, the process was both fun and interesting. I
also had a lot of fun creating the font applications and exploring the
different designs.
Observation
During this module, we had to create typographic system posters, dissect
letterforms from an image, create our own wordmark, make mockups, create
an animation, create our own workable font, make font presentations and
applications. I faced a lot of hard times while finishing some of the
task, but I decided to do some more research and overcome it. By doing so,
I learnt much more and had new experiences facing troubles. I also noticed
how slow I am compared to my peers when working on our tasks, so I thought
that I should learn how to manage my time better. Even though I faced some
hardships, I am glad I did because I am happy with the outcomes of my
tasks.
Findings
Overall, I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot during the period of this
module. There were some rough patches, but I am glad that I experienced it
or I wouldn't have learnt as much as I probably would. I learnt the
different typographic systems, how to create my very own wordmark, develop
my animation skills, how to make mockups, and how to create a workable
font. I also noticed that I was so slow, I was always behind my peers on
something. So, I took note that I needed to manage my time better and work
more efficiently.
