INSTRUCTIONS

PROJECT 1

 This was our first project for our Typography class. We were asked to create a 2 page editorial spread with the option of 3 different texts. We were also given specific typefaces to choose from. We used adobe illustrator to create the spreads and adobe in design to create the headline.

 This was the headline I created:
fig 1.1: headline 

I created several different layouts as well.

fig 1.2: screenshot of my artboard (attempt 2)

fig 1.3: screenshot of my artboard (attempt 3)

After showing my work to Mr Vinod and Mr Shamsul, I decided to go with the layout I created on my 3rd attempt. However I made a mistake and did not make the bodies of text connected so I had to fix that. I also made the font smaller to make it look more even, and rotated the headline.

FEEDBACK

 Week 5
General Feedback: All bodies of text must be connected, instead of creating separate text boxes.
Week 6
General Feedback: We were advised to get a mouse.
Specific Feedback: Fonts must be smaller to make the layout more even looking.

REFLECTIONS

 Experience:
I struggled to come up with various layouts as well as creating a headline that would express the meaning of the text. After many trials and errors, I finally came up with 3 layouts.

 Observations:
In the beginning, I struggled with using in design and coming up with ideas, but after a while I managed to get used to it.

 Findings:
I realized that there were so many more different layouts that could have been designed using in design.

 The 3D Type Book by Agathe Jacquillat, Tomi Vollauschek
fig 2.1 : cover page
This book was quite similar to the one I previously read. This book a showcase of three-dimensional letterforms ever written, featuring over 1,300 images of more than 300 projects by more than 160 emerging talents and established individuals and studios.

It showcases typography created from everyday items that we say, yet might not realize can create different typography and typefaces. Below is one of the pages I was fascinated with,

28/03/2022 - 27/04/2022 (Week 1 - Week 14) Week 1 During our first class, we were briefed about what to expect for our major project / final year project. We were given 3 different pathways to choose from: 1. To find a client and work with them 2. Do a project based on our previous dissertation  3. Do a project based on UNSDG's Goals The first step was to choose one of the pathways and then think of a specific project we want to do. After doing research, I decided to do a project based on UNSDG's Goals. _______ Week 2 This week I started looking into what I could do to fulfill the specific UNSDG target and goal I chose. I chose UNSDG's third goal, "Good Health and Well-being" which is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages. I wanted to specifically focus on Mental Health which is mentioned in Target 3.4 -  "to reduce by one-third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health

Week 1 - Week 14 Phoebe Ansel 0340165 Application Design II Final Project  INSTRUCTIONS     Final Project For our project, we had a collaboration with the business school and IT school. We were tasked to create a mobile app for the business school. They wanted to create a virtual fitting room app that would allow users to see how the clothes would fit them virtually so that wouldn't have to try them on. We were first divided into 2 groups to work on the user flow, user journey, and wireframe.  We did our work on miro: We then had a meeting with the business school students and made changes after receiving feedback from them. After doing the user flow and user journey, we started working on our wireframe. The idea was for both teams to create wireframes and then choose and combine them together to create a better version of it. my group's wireframe We had a meeting again with the business students and also showed Mr Razif our work, he then chose which elements we were going to
