Feedback

Week 7 
This week for the second project Mr.Samsul told me to make an asscender and descender line so that everything is the same.

Week 8
Mr.Vinod saw the sketch that i made in digital and said that my font was not soft and need to fix it and Mr. shamsul give me a feedback that my font was too thick and not consistent

Week 9 
I still have to fix a few fonts and Mr. Shamsul helped me to make soft and consistent fonts.


Reflection

Experience

Week 7
At first I did not understand what i haveto do and i just did what Mr. Vinod explained. Then finally after a while i did dissection and decontruction on the font i understood the purpose of this exercise

Week 8
I ran out of ideas and was confused about how to re-create a new font from an existing font. I have some sketch that are so basic

Week 9
This week I was very troubled because I could not install the fontlab application which made me have to go back and forth to the browser and contact some of my friends to request the application. unfortunately I got a cracking application that ca not be opened on my laptop.

Finding

Week 7
Making sketches first really helps to make fonts

Week 8
I realize that if we make things incorrectly in Ai it will make things worse, even have to repeat, and must be careful to look good.

Week 9
I am happy because I can make my own font with Ai and fontlab but I am still a little confused using fontlab


Observed

Week 7
I saw all my friends in class so focused on working on dissection and decontruction

Week 8
my friends and I are also very stressed because I have to be careful and careful to make fonts

Week 9
some of my friends look happy because the work is done

Further Reading


figure 4.1 : cover book

The book is possibly the only early treatise on typography designed for practical use, not theoretical debate. The book's examples are the normal stock-in trade of any printer or designer, letterheads, business cards, posters, all rendered in standard sans-serif fonts . The "before and after" format shows you just how radical a change he proposed, and his examples would still be perfectly usable 80 years later.

27 August 2019 Daisya Putri Suherman (0334394) Animation Fundamental Exercises Lecture 1 27.08.19 actually, I missed first Animation Fundamentals classes because my timetable schedule was very chaotic at the time. This week I missed this lecture but based on my friend that Miss Anis explained the stop motion and the lecture can be seen in the Times. fig 1.1 Example from lecture based on the explanation that I read from the Times that we have to make a stop motion from some of the example material are Chalk drawings, rocks, marbles, play dough, found objects, flower petals, etc. this exercise is done in groups. because I missed a few classes, so I was quite confused to do this exercise because I missed a lot of discussions with my friends. after that I came to class during the tutorial class and my friends would start working on these exercises.
