REFLECTION


Experience
I decided to take Digital Photography & Imaging as my free elective as I enjoy taking photographs as well as enjoy manipulating them. While this module did not focus much on photography, I liked that I was able to incorporate photographs in my work and learn how to creatively put them together to create something meaningful. Personally, the assignment I enjoyed the most was the very first one, the physical collage. I found the physical process of looking through different books, cutting pieces out, and putting them together very fun to me. Another task I particularly enjoyed was the double exposure.

On the other hand, the task I found most challenging was the final project. As I am familiar with Photoshop and use it often, I had no trouble using it throughout the semester. However, we had to use After Effects for our final project which I am not very familiar with.


Observations
As we were required to refer to visual references while working on all of our projects, I have seen endless pieces the past 14 weeks, which has greatly inspired me and helped me develop and create better ideas/compositions.


Findings
Through this module, I was able to practice and gain technical skills as I used Photoshop and After Effects. I was also able to learn more about myself, as multiple of the projects required us to express our own selves.

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...

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...
