Task 2 : Typographic Exploration and Communication

INSTRUCTIONS

For task 2, Mr. Vinod gave us three articles for us to choose to typeset them. We need to use ID to typeset and design the articles, and we need to design the title to express its meaning in AI.

Research

Before starting my homework, I looked up some interesting cases about typography on the Internet in order to find inspiration.

Sketches

This is my sketch. I've designed the title. I'm going to do it in circles.

I tried to draw the title in the AI.

After designing the title, I turned my attention to the typography of the article. In ID, I tried different typography and presented it.

In the sixth week, the teacher commented on our homework and gave us feedback. Mr.Vinod said My work does not highlight the key points. And the design is meaningless. Font size and line spacing do not meet the requirements. So I redesign as required.

I tried to draw the title in the AI.

I think the" world" is important in the title. So I make an earth and highlight the word "world".

FEEDBACK

WEEK 7

My work does not highlight the key points. And the design is meaningless. Font size and line spacing do not meet the requirements. So I redesign as required.

There was a big mistake in this week's homework. I made an adjustment as soon as possible. This is my first time to come into contract with such a design work. I know it is inevitable. But it also makes me know more about how to work hard and how to design better works.

REFLECTION

Experience

In this task, I have a better understanding of the software ID, and I have mastered the function of using ID simply through the lecture video. However, I still have many shortcomings in the composition and design of articles, and there is no good and special design. I still had a lot of trouble with the layout and formatting of the text.


Observation

In this task, I found that the title is important in the whole text. The title is the beginning of the whole article, which represents the whole text. It can attract readers and make them want to continue reading the article. Then, through the observation of other students' homework, I found that a simple element can play a great role, such as a letter in the title deformation to make the title more attractive, a simple rectangle can make the article segmentation. But what matters more in the design and layout of text is the meaning of the letters themselves.


Findings

From task 2, I learned that the most important thing in an article is how to make the reader read well. The first thing we should do is to make the reader interested in reading, and the title design is an important factor. In the design of the title, it is designed on left side of the article to attract more readers. We should arrange the title and text reasonably, so that readers can read smoothly.
