Studio Brief 02 - Typeface Design (Numerous) Final critique

In this session was the final critique for our typeface design, we did a similar rotation of Studio Brief 01: Logotype as we left our work/presentations based on our final design of our typeface and wrote feedback about them.

These were the questions I left for my peers to answer:

1) What kind of emotions do you feel when looking at the Final design typeface?

2) Do you think the influence typeface (Univers) was appropriate for my word (numerous)? If you agree why? If not why and suggest another one?

3) Excluding the final design typeface, out of all the other designs which one do you like and which one also portrays 'numerous' better. Please explain why?

4) The scale of my final piece to me is more of a practical use than a display use. Do you agree? If yes why and if not, why?

5) Do you like the idea of me incorporating Braille into a typeface? If yes why? If not why? 

Here is my final typeface design: I chose the Braille and lines typeface design as it has a practical use, if manufactured. Compared to the other, which are just different designed typefaces. The lines within the typeface can outline where the Braille circles should be placed within the each letters. So this typeface is more of a practical use than a display use. 

I like how my final typeface are both equally legible to read visually and physically. Like if there was a children’s book made for a blind child, the mum can read it out loud. Whilst the
blind child can read along to with the Braille on it.



Feedback from peers

In addition, these are the comments my peers gave me on my final design: I love the idea of the combination of braille and normal writing could be used to great effect; Yes, I
could see it being used in every day life; Confused almost.  A lot of though and theory has gone into the type; Don't feel any emotions; how I love the concept of focusing on 
braille and using circles, very clever; Univers if a good choice as the letter forms are quite curved, which relates to the use of circles in the typeface; Definitely, think it is a 
clever response to such a challenging word. I was initially intrigued by the braille idea as it caught my attention; We feel it is formal and practical; Neutral, I feel that this 
typeface has more function over form; I like the circle idea.  I could see it being used on carnival rides, festivals., basically anywhere you can change the circles for lights
in the typeface; The point of braille is its not in the shape of a letter, but does look effective as it is.  The style and influence works; Agree, because its neutral has strong angles
in the font, feels digital; The dot idea, various dots looks more structured more relevance to numerous, more clear; Style works, yes as it refers to your adjective; I think 
univers is appropriate as it looks neat and numerical; I think circles design works the best as it reminds me of an abacus; I agree the circle could get lost on small scale; don’t 
completely understand the braille reference but final design looks, good, satisfying. Overall, this typeface was a success! I am very please with the written feedback.

OUGD603 | Extended Practice | Brief 03 | Development - Publication Layout design - Leah | BBC (Our Generation) - Life being British Born Chinese

Publication Layout - Leah For the inside of the 'Our Generation' publication, the collaborator Leah was in charge of this  brief's outcome segment. The publication's layout was constructed with 'Adobe Indesign' Leah made guide lines and measurements to help assist where the Photographs and the text should be placed. Illustrations of a paint brush stroke was experimented to give the pages more characteristics. We mutually agreed to make the size of the publication A5 format, and the number of pages are 16. Previously it was going to be 17, however one participant was unable to provided us with their childhood photo for us. Due to this situation Leah had to be more selective with the photos and information (Quotes) that we believe was significant for outlining our briefs context.  Below are some images of this layout format: Participant page order by names: Katie Sung  Leah Chen  Jackie Wan Tracey Lau Eliza Mo Kylie Lee Lewis Capper...

Studio Brief 02 - Licence to Print Money | History of Money & Banknotes Research

Money History The word money comes from the Latin 'Moneta' - which is the first Roman coinage that was minted at the temple of Juno Moneta in 344BC. Before coinage, various objects such as cattle, pig's teeth and shells had been used as money. For most of its history money has taken the form of coins made of precious metal. The money has had intrinsic value. Many of the units of modern money recall their origin in amounts of precious metal (e.g the pound sterling was originally the Roman pound (twelves ounces) of silver.) The Beginning of Banking in Britain In Great Britain, the modern age of banking began in 1640 when King Charles I, needed cash to pay the (English) army that he was raising against Scotland ( of which he was also King.)to seized the golf bullion that many merchants and nobles had placed in the Tower of London for safe-keeping. In 1642, a further warfare broke our with the English Civil War between the King and Parliament. London was the stronghol...

Studio Brief 02 - What is a Book? - Development

In this design board, it presents me figuring an appropriate size  for my Horoscope Book. After doing some trial and errors of  measurements of my Horoscope book, I decided to do a book  size of a DVD box which is 7.5 inches by 5.5 inches. As I  believe it is a suitable size for a double page spread book. I have also done some stencil experiments for my star signs  with spray paint. Similar to one of my inspirations artists,  Banksy with his graffiti art style for my illustrations for my  Horoscope Book. I will print these star sign stencil designs  from my Macbook in Illustrator to an acetate. And then I will  cut my desired shapes out with a craft knife. And test spray  paint it to see if it was effective. However, when I tried to spray  the metallic paint on the acetate sheet with the information on it  it ruined it. This is because I believe the spray paint is too much  for the laser printer ink. Therefore I rep...
