INSTRUCTION

in the first class, Mr. Vinod told us about the first project where we re required to choose someone story or we can write our own story with 3000 words on any subject that we are familiar with. there's must be an introduction, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and Chapter 3. Mr. Vinod shows us all the example and the format are given to us in facebook group.so next class we got to bring for progress, and bring it to the class.

For this project, I was really confused. So, I decided to write the story by myself which this kind of challenges me. 

Here is the first attempt at writing the content:

REFLECTION 

EXPERIENCE 

08/04/19 (Week 2)

I got to learn how to writing even though I was really struggling to get 3000 words and I was keep counting words but then I really enjoyed it until I finished it.

15/04/19 (Week 3)

I explore so many references to find what kind of style that I wanted to do for my book so I know what I want to do before I created my illustration for my book.

22/04/19 (Week 4)

I really like photography so this time I got to try collage my picture, add some elements and combine it to get a good college.

29/04/2019 (week 5)

I learn how to make an abstract artwork using my personal picture and it's so fun because i've never done this before.

OBSERVATION
08/04/19 (Week 2)
I observed that different people have different  styles while they designing their books also we have to find the right sentence to create the visualization 


15/04/19 (Week 3)
I observe that most of my friend will be doing an illustration like drawing with their personal character to shows their personality in their book and looking at the references is important to get a better idea.

22/04/19 (Week 4)
I observe that some of the 5 artworks of mine are very common so I need to make it a little bit interesting and make it look differently

29/04/2019 (week 5)
it's hard for me at the beginning to design/creating an abstract artwork but references is helping me to get more ideas in my brain.

FINDINGS
08/04/19 (Week 2)

I was really struggling to write a story but then I keep telling myself that I can do it until I made it. 

15/04/19 (Week 3)

I found that in this project, I took the opportunity to use all my pictures 

22/04/19 (Week 4)

i was really struggling because I realized some of my artworks is very scrapbook so I have to think more to make my artwork differently

29/04/2019 (week 5)

it's hard for me at the beginning to design/creating an abstract artwork but the more I learn how to create it, I feel enjoy and that makes me easy to finish it.

book cover

Typography is a multidimensional language, the typographic message is verbal, visual, and vocal. While typography is read and interpreted verbally, heard and interpreted audibly. It is a dynamic communication, bringing new expressive power to the written word. Significant departures from the use of conventional typographic forms occurred in Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. During this activist period, experimentation in all the visual and performing arts were affected by potent social and philosophical changes, industrial and technological developments, and new attitudes about aesthetics and modern civilization. The typographic design was pulled into this artistic revolution as poets and visual artists realized that both meaning and dorm could be intensified in typographic communications. The Futurist Manifesto, written by the Italian poet Filippo Marinetti in 1909, profoundly influenced thinking in Europe and Russia. Futurist typography, known as "free typography"  demonstrated these ideas in a highly expressive manner.

Among the movements affected by Futurism were Dadaism in France, Switzerland, and Germany; de Stijl in Holland,; and Constructivism in Russia. Each of these historical movements has had a penetrating effect upon typography. Artist and designers associated with these movements saw typography as a powerful means of conveying information relating to the realities of industrialized society. With dramatic changed taking place in the form and content of typography, the typographic message became a multifaceted and expressive form of communication. Typography needs to be read, seem, heard, felt, and experienced.

Type On Screen by Ellen Lupton

This book is to learn how to use typography on the screen. There are many things that we need to consider before selecting the typeface. in this book, it also discovers animation text. it states that animated typography is not a new phenomenon.  This technique is used for several reasons and can also add attention to certain content. Can also help convey emotions and tones. Kinetic typography can certainly help to make a very unique visual. 

There are 10 basic animations according to the book:

• Appear: The type simply appears on a blank screen
• Word appear: Each word appears in sequence to reveal the full text
• Opacity: Text gradually becomes opaque
• Fall in: Text falls from the top of the screen and stops in place
• Focus: Text comes into focus from a blurred state
• Vertical reveal: A foreground plane slides up or down to reveal text
• Background color shift: The background changes color to reveal the type
• Letter slide in Individual letters slide in horizontally, in order
• Page flip: The type enters the screen with the motion of a flipping page
• Fly in + Opacity: The individual letters fly into place while increasing in opacity
