REFLECTION


Throughout this module, I have learnt about the different design principles and how to effectively utilise them in design. I also learnt how to analyse an artwork, using my knowledge of the design principles as well as the knowledge I have gained by researching and looking at numerous visual references.

As someone who loves and appreciates art, I really enjoyed the process of creating all of my artworks as it helped me express myself and my emotions. While I found all of the projects interesting, I think the exercises were the most fun as I decided to create artworks for some of my favourite songs. On the other hand, I believe I enjoyed working on my self-portrait the least as I am not very confident in myself.

This module has made me rediscover my love for design and art in general. While I have always loved and appreciated art, I always found drawing challenging so I only admired it from afar. Yet, these 14 weeks have made me realise that I am capable of creating artworks that I am proud of.

Something that has changed after my learning journey is the fact that I am now able to objectively view art pieces and analyse them. However, I still believe that art is felt rather than thought/understood.

All in all, I am happy to say that Design Principles was one of the modules I have enjoyed the most throughout my entire university learning experience. Besides enjoying learning about design and creating art, I also appreciated the way Ms. Noranis conducted her classes, and the freedom she allowed us. Having no limitations, as well as Ms. Noranis being very understanding and therefore not pressuring us, has made this experience lighter on me mentally and physically.

INSTRUCTIONS TASK 3 / Type Design & Communication "You will endeavour to create a typeface that has the hallmarks of a good typeface; subtlety, character, presence, legibility and readability. Below are the letters you will design: "a e t k g r i y m p n ! # , .". Upon completion of the font, you will create a basic A4 size poster displaying your font." ––– Research The first thing I did before working on my sketches was looking at various fonts for inspiration. I did not have a specific idea in mind regarding what I wanted to create, so I looked at different styles. Fig 1.1, Visual References, (15/10/2022) I also did some further reading (refer to Fig 6.1) to help me as I develop my own typeface. Sketches After doing research, I came up with the followin

Font: The individual font or weight within the typeface. Typeface: The entire family of fonts/weights that share similar characteristics/styles. WEEK 1(b) / Development Early Development / Timeline Essentially, due to the materials utilised, uppercase forms are a simple combination of straight lines and pieces of circles. Phoenicians wrote from right to left. The Greek wrote alternatively, from right to left, and then left to right – boustrophedon. Etruscan carvers eventually developed certain strokes as they painted, resulting in what we refer to as serifs. Over the course of about 900 years, Roman letters were developed from Phoenician and Greek letters. Squ
