INSTRUCTION



TASK3: EXERCISES

For Task 3, we need to create our own typeface. After our sketches approved, write all the letters (o l e d s n c h t i g , . ! #) in the approved style and digitise.

First, I do research at Pinterest

REFLECTIONS

Week 9: 

Experience: We learn how to design a typeface

Observation: We showed our sketches to Mr. Goh one by one and made revisions based on his feedback

Findings: Learned to keep the angle, size and distance consistent when designing typeface

Week 10: 

Experience: We learn how to digitalize a typeface

Observation: We showed our sketches of (o l e d s n c h t i g , . ! #) to Mr. Goh made revisions based on his feedback

Findings: Learned to more easier way to digitalize

Week 11: 

Experience: We learn how to use fontlab

Observation: We done our digitize and put it into fontlab

Findings: I can create my own font

Week 12: 

Experience: We learn how to adjust the kerning

Observation: We adjust kerning on FontLab and use the font we create to do a poster

Findings: I can adjust kerning better


FURTHER READING

typography design: Form and Communication 

I continued reading this book

This chapter examines the design process in typographic problem-solving, highlighting the lack of a single, definitive method. Designers typically follow highly individualized approaches, often blending traditional and digital tools. A common model outlines five steps: defining the problem, generating ideas, developing solutions, prototyping, and implementing the final design. Though traditionally viewed as linear, the design process is more accurately described as overlapping and multidimensional. It involves interaction and ambiguity, with solutions emerging from a complex interplay of activities.
