motion typography: moving elements but not transforming to new elements
fluid typography: moving elements into non-typographic elements.
Environmental typography employs architectural elements such as colors, patterns, materials, images, themes.

FEEDBACK

Week 7
Images in the post for exercise is not well presented. It has shadow and not flat. No PDF file for the final Finding Type exercise.

Specific Feedback

I was told that I need to fix my composition, make shapes from the eyes, mouth and nose like circle, triangle and square. Make sure the word Design Colloquium placed smartly around the lines.

Online feedback

Arletta I think you may need to put the letters back, difficult for people to guess so better not take that chance. It's ok now, just fix that and move on to the collateral.

Week 8
General Feedback

To have to information text sizes in 14-18 pt. Not more. Make sure to work on A2 papers so you don't have to resize them when printing. They need to make sure eport are up to date because Mr Vinod will see the works from eport with all the progress. Experience should be written well, not just 1 sentence. Specific Feedback For the poster, I was told to make the lines tangled around the information.

Second feedback
Mr Vinod said that it is better to change my key artwork since not a lot of people will understand the meaning behind of if, Mr Shamsul said that it is better to get a better composition for the placement for the key artwork.

Week 9
General Feedback

Remember to make sure when you are breaking the key artwork, the audience understand that it is about the design colloquium even when they are only seeing the tote bag or the shirt only. Please print your work first to make sure everything is in place and fix if any necessary changes. Show it to Mr Vinod too.

REFLECTION

Experience

Week 7
Making tote bag and shirt is and interesting experience. I had a lot of problem making the designs. I decided to go trough pinterest to get inspiration of how to compose well like the margins. I had problem making the shirt since I don't know how to design it well.

Week 8
I'm pretty happy with how the tote bag looks like, but I still working on my shirt. I decided to make them quite simple in a few of my designs like my tote bag. I don't quite like it so I did it so I do another research from pinterest. I decided to do a big artwork at the back of the shirt, and small one on the left chest area in the front.

Observation
Week 7
I notice that I need to be careful when making continuing lines for my tote bag. I need to make sure they are align but also to make their curves smooth. I did a lot of try and error but manage to make it later on. I also tried to do the same thing with shirt but failed because how shirt is going to be worn in a body and going to be curved differently, and I can't seem to connected correctly

Week 8
Everyone seems panicking when Mr Vinod was checking the blog because no one actually expect he will check it today. I notice that I use a lot of reference when making the shirt to know the placements.

Finding
Week 7
I notice that making a few design gives a better view of the best design instead of just settled on one right away. I did a few ones and finally happy with mine after several tries, especially on my shirts.

Week 8
A few things I noticed when making a design for a shirt is usually there are a small artwork in the left side of the chest, the middle of the chest but usually more wider, either back/front design of a big artwork.
