Task:Report about Helvetica



What i really understand about this video is about a typeface named Helvetica which was formed in 1957 by Swiss typeface. Helvetica is a sans-serif typeface which generally will use for inform something or to convey, communicate, extend, pass the message or information as well. As i know Helvetica is a typeface which is very neat to see, and Helvetica mostly used for a magazine advertisement ,bag designs and so on. If type of Bold Helvetica should be can use to form a word like 'Flyers',may be it's look cute,said by one of the Design writer. Overall, what i can say about the typeface Helvetica is a typography which represents a simple form of art.

intro to typo: week 3(create a font using the nature materials)

                         


                    Typography : My creation



I choose some of the nature materials such as seed, leaves and many type of flowers, to create or form a wording using the materials listed above. The theme of this task is nature, which i have to use my creativity to create a unique font and finally i had formed a word “ARTS” using the materials that i had chosen from my surrounding nature. The letter that the most i like is “S” . This is because,the letter “S” look very interesting to see, and it is a combination of all the type of flowers.    











intro to typo:Font that represent myself and description


               Typography

Task 1:Font identification
  SHARON SHAMLA
(French script MT)

The reason why i chose this font is because the lines and the curves of this font has impressed me  a lot and its represent myself as well. The first thing that i can tell about this font is it looks very classic and girlish. Its mean that in ancient times, people often use this kind of font to write a letter or revelation using the feather and ink writing on the papyrus to convey such information to another person. Sometimes this kind of font are often used in wedding decoration, which will be displayed at the main place of that wedding,we also can see this type of font on the birthday  invitation,graduation and so on. Other than that,the curve of this font looks like a kind of woman’s body  shape which represent me and as we all know that no body is perfect in this world,so what i think is the font i had chosen is not a perfect font.I said this because when we look at the letter ‘o’ we can see that the letter is  not perfectly  joined circle.I don't expect something really very perfect .For example,i dont want to be a perfect girl with a perfect height,weight, size and color,i just will appreciate with what i have.

intro to typo:week 2(typo design)

                                                            What is Typography

What i think about typography is a style or appearance of a printed matter. Typography is quit interesting to learn because,through that we can know the history of the ancient egyptians. I got to know many things about typography which i learned today in the class. As i know typography is a communication between all of us. Sometimes we don't even to speak out and we can understand the purpose and meaning of the typography by look at the signs. I expect to know many more things and gain knowledge in typography.

intro to typography: week 1



The final outcome of the pictograph icon (washroom sign)
group work with (Li Feng and Chumba kakubo)




graphic design 1:week 2


The geometric shape of object




graphic design part 1:week 2



The three geometric shape of object i had chosen



This icon was created by Ifti Qar,it is a icon of a bouncing ball which have to draw using a circle shape. He  is so creative in drawing this icon of bouncing ball, which he used the energy of action in sports .When i see this icon, it is remind me the seven basic principles of animation which i had learned in basic animation subject in my first semester of foundation. The forced of the ball bouncing was look quit real. Maybe if the icon are color up ,its look more realistic. Whatever but still the icon are looks simple and nice.




This icon was formed  by Li Feng, The following icon is the result of the shape of the pyramid. The icon  shows  a piece of cake  which looks so colorfull.  The reason that i choose this image because i love  to eat cake.The color of this icon attract the audience such as ,the red color is like focus point which make me to look at that. The cherry which is place on top the cake are impressed me a lot, that's not to say because i love that,i said so because its look cute and delicious. Another  thing  that i like the most in this picture is ,he formed a 3D design using the pyramid shape.




This icon was drawn by Desmond Wong . It is a scale ruler of triangle shaped,and triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry a polygon with three corners or vertices and three sides or edges which are line segments. A central theorem is the Pythagorean theorem, which states in any right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two other sides. Ruler  are very useful to every human being in doing some measurement or to create a straight line. I like this icon because, the creativity of this person in form a image using a geometry shaped is very smart.
