Task 3

INSTRUCTIONS

Task 3: Type Exploration and Application

We need to research the usage of typeface in out field of interest or develop a typeface to address a challenge in that area.This final project is need to find the problem and solve it.

FINAL PROJECT PROPOSAL

Chosen Idea

I Choose idea 1. This idea is revive the marker pen typeface. These typeface we can actually write it by using a square head marker pen, and this typeface usually is capital letter only, so in this project I would made the lowercase and numbers.

PROCESS

I created the grid system to me in order to have a consistent typeface, when designing.

Figure 2.1: Grid system, Week 10 (26/06/24)

I created the some shape that can be used it when same shape is needed, cause it will be balance with the stroke size and look all same. Beside I also use the pen tool to draw out then I adjust it, to look more smooth.

REFLECTION

FEEDBACK

In this last project I feel it is very fun for me about the typography and had learn many things from this project such as typefaces, kerning, and how to use Fontlab and create own typeface design. Next, I also learn many things about how to transfer the typefaces we design our own form illustrator to Fontlab.

OBSERVATIONS

This project I feel was most fun for me, and I had learn how to design my own typeface design by using shape tools, brush to finish my typeface design.

FINDINGS

In this few weeks I feel typography is not all about words only it have more to learn and know the rules of typography and how we can formatting a better text for people to read.
