Another day of just getting down and dirty with the work! I've now completed my rough presentation ready for tomorrow, i've also printed off some quick prompt cards, which will make it flow a lot better, and i wont need to look at the screen, unless i'm talking about the examples. Managed to get my... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 14
Wow! I have never had such a bad day in terms of being nervous and panicking. I can't explain it, not even my driving test was as bad as this and that was the worst up till today. It's all because of this presentation I have to do on the 27th October. At the beginning of the day... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 13
Today was, very much, another type orientated day. A little bit of sketch book work, followed up by some illustrator to smooth off those curves and realise the sketches in digital form. I've noticed a large improvement in my ability to do quick sketches of letter forms (primarily the letter "a") just to get my... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 12
In my presentation I'm going for a quite minimal look, I'd like to put up the basic bullet points and main points, I can then expand upon them through talking. I feel this is the strongest way of getting my project across, as purely written text will be quite dull to read and may not... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 11
Hey guys, it's been quite a good weekend looking into what I can do for the presentation, and today was equally productive in regards to a more theory side of the practical project. I've decided that I'm going to be doing a live power point, with me discussing each section, as my presentation method. I feel quite strong... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 10
Today was quite interesting. Began with a meeting which put down all the relevant dates for both the essay and development of ideas modules. I came out of it feeling rather nervous and demoralized, not because I haven't done anything, but because I know I have lots and lots still left to do. However, I... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 9
(I apologise for one day late, once again i set it to private not public) Another Thursday come and gone, I'm not sure what it is about Thursdays, but I seem to have a lack of attention. I started thinking about my presentation and how best to get my ideas across. Of course I need to start it with a... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 8
Today was by far one of the most productive and interesting days of this third year thus far. (to view larger images please click) Firstly I created a, sort of, mood board, although it consisted mainly of lots of ideas and different directions which my project could take me. It was a good way of... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 7
Hi guys! As I have mentioned in the past, my project is going to involve designing a new typeface, one which would be ideal for airport users. This includes disabled, people with different degrees of vision and children. Not only should the typeface be legible to everyone that comes across it, but it should compliment... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 6
I think today can be classed as a 'typical Thursday' Meant to be a day spent doing theory, although more practical work was done in the end. Not much else to say to be quite honest. I think tomorrow would be good to spend some time looking over current wayfinding typefaces, maybe for the first... Continue Reading →
