Kerning

- Kerning is the automatic adjustment of space between letters.

Letterspacing

- Letterspacing means to add space between the letters.

Tracking

-The addition and removal of space in a word or a sentence.

Flush Left : Mirrors are the asymmetrical experience of handwriting. Each line starts at the same point but ends on the line. The spaces between words are consistent throughout the text to create an even grey value.

Centered : Symmetry upon text, equal value and weight to both ends of any line. It adds a pictorical quality to material that is non-pictorial by nature. It's important to amend line breaks so that text won't look to ragging.

Flush Right : The format places emphasis on the end of the line. It can be useful when the text and image might be ambiguous without a strong orientation to the right.

Justified : The format imposes a symmetrical shape on the text. It is achieved by expanding or reduced spaces between words and letters. It can produce rivers of white space running vertically throughout the text. However, there is a chance the lines will break and hyphenation is required to amend the problem.

Project 1 : A Story Book
For this project, we used a software called Adobe InDesign to design a booklet where we got a certain text and express a sentence or two. Mr. Vinod taught us a few tools to use in InDesign to help guide us in our project.

Text Expression and Layout ( Week 8 )
This week, we were told to choose one of the text alignment where I chose the left alignment. We had to take a certain sentence that we like from each page and make an expression out of it.

REFLECTIONS

FEEDBACK

Week 8

Mr. Vinod mentioned that my work wasn't expressive enough.

OBSERVATIONS

Week 8
I had trouble expressing the words.

FINDINGS

Week 8
I find it hard using Adobe InDesign because I was new to it.

FURTHER READINGS

Fig 2.5 Further Readings.

I read a book on Typography about the different kinds of symmetrical variations, there were 2 - column grids, single column grid and 5 column grids. It also mentioned the parts of the symmetrical column - based grid, there were columns, running heads, captions, and folio numbers.

Advanced Typography - Exercise and Lecture

Advanced Typography - Exercises 26.09.2019 Joseph (0332260) Advanced Typography Exercises LECTURE (26.09.19) This is the start of what I can say a very stressful course to go through again but no worries its not Taylor's University or any University if it's not hard. For our first week, we start the course by being introduced to the MIB (Module Information Booklet). We were explained by Mr. Vinod what are the assignments going to be like and what are the projects going to be like. After that, we continued on by making presentations and explaining the lecture to the lecturers. We learned about the 8 Typographical Systems, we have :" Axial, Radial, Dilatational, Random, Grid, Modular, Transitional, and Bilateral. These are the slides of presentation that each of our group makes. INSTRUCTIONS EXERCISE Week 2 (02.09.2019) For our first exercise, we were asked to make 2 art designs based on the presentation that we did for the first week. The...

Advanced Interactive Design - 202003

Advanced Interactive Design - 202003 04.16.2020 Joseph (0336620) Advanced Interactive Design Exercise Week 1 We started with the MIB briefing, and then we proceeded to learning the Adobe Animate. Unfortunately, I haven't got the software yet. So I proceeded to take notes based on what our lecturer said about the software. Mr.Lun then proceeded to explaining our project one, which is actually shocking because he said that its due week 5 and we were pretty much rushing things. Our project was that we have to create an animation flow for a certain online shop. So for this weeks objective we were told to update our blogs, and start working on what we wanna animate (online store or service). After that we are expected to make an animation workflow and a wireframe for the week. So for my wireframe, I didn't exactly know what sort of apps or services or online stores that I wanna do, we were told to gain inspiration from a website called UI Movement and sort go th...
