Que sera, sera – Career : Hacker (WIP03)

Something that Mimi pointed out last week was that when we look at the design the typography/our name should be the main focus. Not the imagery that is accompanied by our name. Also when we did the peer reviewing with each other I realised that my designs need quite a bit of fixing, especially the designs I did for the career hacker.

Somehow the first thing that come to them would be computer science. Something that would actually differentiate a computer science person from a hacker is probably the little greenish glitches that comes with it. Also, i was told that I could probably add like repetition of tabs like they are jammed or when the screen hangs.

Apparently the texture for the fonts makes my name quite difficult to read. I was also kind of unsure what type of fonts could really represent a hacker. I honestly have no idea how to do glitches effect for fonts so I had to search up on a lot of things, it was all just trial and error.

Then I tried out the second one without the codes and try to switch up the fonts. Then I realised that the fonts are too thin, it makes the whole thing look very awkward. Also the plain background together with all the texture just makes its look like a spoiled film instead.

For the third time, after going through all the different type of fonts, I thought that I would just go for something simple and add in the effects myself. Also for the codes at the back, I kind of blurred them since they clash with my name. Since I obviously could not tell what is better or worse I had to ask my friends again. What they told me was that my font was actually too clean, also my background was kind of flat and boring. SO HERE WE GO AGAIN

My I-have-no-idea-how-many-tries at this point of time anymore. I was just going back and forth a lot of stuff before I figured this out, like finally! Now really at this point I am not sure of what to do anymore, perhaps I will come back to it when I do out my other careers.
