No lectures as it is independent learning week.

Week 9 (25.05.2021)
Going through feedback on the progress of our sketched out typeface designs. Some have already digitalized theirs, some haven't. Then Mr Vinod went onto Illustrator to show how we could improve our typefaces by explaining what spurs and contrast is.

Task 3A: Creating own typeface

For this task we are meant to start creating our own typeface by using an existing one as a point of reference. We would need to study it's anatomical parts by deconstructing, but first sketches of our ideas need to be done.

For the reference, I will be using the fonts 'Adobe Carlson Pro' and 'ITC New Baskerville'.

I may also use these other two fonts as inspiration.

Figure 1.1

Using them as references I came up with 5 possible typefaces to design.

Figure 1.3 Progress in Illustrator

Using illustrator to design my chosen typeface. I decided to go for the very first one since Mr Vinod liked that one too. I'm still struggling a lot when it comes to this program but so far, it doesn't look too horrible.

Figure 1.5 Improvements done to the typeface

Thanks to Mr. Vinod's feedback I have made slight improvements such as removing the arc for the letter 'm' and thickening some lines that were inconsistent before.

After that's all done, I could finally generate my typeface into an actual font. This part was quite exciting, even if my font isn't the prettiest.

MAJOR PROJECT

28.08.2023 -  04.12.2023 Haura Laiqa Naznin / 0345050 / Bachelors of Design in Creative Media Major Project INSTRUCTIONS   WEEK 1-3   For our final year project, we were given two choices: one was to either base it off of our dissertation or to do something entirely new. For me, I decided to have it related to my dissertation which was about representation. My main idea was to have a protagonist that other animated movies seem to lack, specifically hijabi representation. This made me think about including my culture into the idea and representing it through the characters and environment. After having some more thought I landed on creating an animation story concept for my final year project. For the first feedback session, I was consulted by Mr. Asrizal and he gave me some pointers to be more specific about what I wanted to represent from my culture. Was it the creatures? The people? I had to think more about that before proceeding with my idea, which he seemed f...

2023 PDW Reflection Report

 26/10/2023 PDW Reflection Report During the beginning of week 8, I was looking forward to attending the webinars that were organized by our lecturers and Mr. Izwal. The ones that I have chosen were focused on tips in the workplace and interviews as well as insights into the creative industry. One of the few companies that helped put it all together were Allianz, GSK and C47 Creative. The reasons why I chose those specifically were because I had my worries when it came to choosing jobs or internships in the future and the processes that would follow it. Interviews are very common, if you were unlucky and didn't get hired on the spot! It was one aspect that I always felt nervous about when I thought about having to do them in the future, so obtaining advice from the very professionals who conducted them was going to prove very valuable to me. During all of the webinars, I made sure to write down notes that seemed important to me and to screenshot any information that I thought could...
