REFLECTION

 Experience

 Coming into this class, I did not really know what to expect. My idea of typography was calligraphy and lettering, and that was what I thought we would be doing throughout the class. However it all changed after our first lecture, this class was so much more complicated than I had expected. I experienced a lot of highs and lows throughout the entire semester. I struggled with coming up with ideas for some exercises, yet also genuinely enjoyed doing some of the exercises. Although the process of completing the exercises and projects for this class was pretty stressful and tiring, I feel accomplished to have got through the semester and I got to do lots of things I never thought I would be able to do.

Observation

 Since our first-ever exercise, I noticed that people around me were struggling as well, and I realized that typography is definitely not easy. I realized that I have a better understanding of typography now, I would pay attention to the formats of the texts whenever I type, etc. I now could tell when a certain design/font will be suitable, when to use a certain design, how to make texts more interesting and readable and many more. I found myself appreciating fonts and typography more, as I now know how difficult the process is.
Findings

 Throughout the semester, I found the class to be very quite challenging, as most of the exercises were works that I have never experienced before (like designing our own fonts). I think that most of the tasks require a lot of time, patience and focus, and a lot of trial and error. It definitely motivated me to try harder every time I fail a certain design, and I found myself working extra diligently for this class. I also found myself constantly thinking about how I can improve my work and became very open to any feedback that I am given. With the experiences that I gathered in this typography class for the first semester, I hope that I will be able to improve and create better designs for future modules/classes.

MAJOR PROJECT

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 5 - Week 10 Phoebe Ansel (0340165) Advanced Interactive Design Project 2 INSTRUCTIONS   Project 2 For our second project, we had to create an AR filter using Spark AR. We were allowed to choose any theme and concept for our filter as long we followed the basic requirements, which are: 1. use face tracker 2. Use UI picker (min 3 options) 3. Background replacement 4. Use face interaction patch  For my filter, I had two ideas. The first one was a music-themed filter based on music genres. The second idea was to do a "movie" themed filter, which is based on movie genres. The idea was to create 4 different filters based on 4 movie genres, which are Horror, Romance, Crime, and Drama. I decided on doing the second idea.  I started by creating these frames in photoshop: music themed frame in photoshop movie themed frame in photoshop After receiving approval for my idea from Mr. Lun, I  continued working on my assets in Photoshop and Illustrator. design process on illustrator Af

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
