Typography I: In Class Activity 5 – Haiku

Three little hamsters

Running on the wheel tonight

Driving me crazy

This is my big friend, Duchess (‘u’)

Layout Sketch

I decided to work on a physical layout again as I wanted to get some hand-lettering practice in!

While it was alot of fun, the only downside was that I couldn’t really change the layout much after I was done with it. 🙁

Feedback

  • Font texture: works as it conveys furriness of the hamster!
  • Move layout up
  • Reduce the opacity of the blue panels
  • “running on the wheel” is not noticeable, and can begin from where the speed lines are at ‘H’

 

Typography I: In Class Activity 4 – Expressive words, Opposing Pairs

IN CLASS ACTIVITY 4

I picked Smooth/Rough as my word pair for the activity.

My selected work for the class activity! 

I sketched three different ideas for this activity but only placed one up for critique. Here are the others:


Feedback received for the selected piece
  • Make ‘ROUGH’ even rougher, by making it jagged or older instead of a new-looking rope.
  • Instead of incorporating transitions at the end of ‘SMOOTH’, put the transitions in the connecting strings.
  • Concept is there but needs to be pushed/explored further.
Reflection

The first half of today was alot about giving and receiving feedback during a critique today. I thought the bit about framing the mind and framing the feedback was interesting as well, such as thinking about what sort of feedback do you want to receive and being more cautious about how you make sure that your feedback is directed at the design and not personally.
