PROJECT 3 - Type Exploration & Application
INSTRUCTION
TASK 3A - Type Exploration
I'm trying to transform with the reference image I found and try to make a
little square hole in the font and see if it becomes gamified．

Figure 1.1 A
In the final experiment, I think it looks very square if you look at it from a
close distance, but if you look at it from a distance, the vision will be a
bit gamified.

When I was done, I found the shape of the y was not enough, so I went to
design one more time．

Final Outcome
Finally, this is the final design. After the design, I am going to put the
font I designed in FontLab to make a font file.

TASK 3B - Type Application
In the beginning, I designed the word ESPORT, but later Mr Vinod said that
this name is a bit popular, so I need to think of another name．
I designed the font called "ASTRA" to show the name of the game style. The name ASTRA is a name I found online and I think it fits my subject perfectly. This name is the name of the game character, which means going through all the hardships to the sea of stars. This font can be used in game products and web design.

Mockup
Later, I will study game tools and ticket. I decided to make a background
pattern with the shape of a mosaic．
This is the first time design.

Mr Vinod say that my first design, ticket design is okay for that but
the VR Glasses design cannot be used, so need to redesign it again.
Then this is my new background design the below.

TIME SPENT
Task 3(A) - 24 hours
Task 3(B) - 72 hours
FEEDBACK
Week 12
Mr Vinod say I need to think about another thing to apply the font that I design to the application
Week 13
The navigation font is difficult to see and the gaming thing device in my landing page doesn't gel with the kind of type that I have here so maybe it should be a more pixelated kind of feel for it just like what I have in the Landing Page, Mr Vinod say whatever I do it cannot be smooth, it has to be like almost pixel-based because of the way my phone and my background doesn't really compliment or contra or rather isn't it really in line with the design style of my typeface I follow
The VR design Mr Vinod says cannot be used and then the ticket name changed to another name because the name is too general.
REFLECTION
EXPERIENCE
Super tired and spend a lot of energy ah. While it was a fun task, I had a lot of fun and a lot of knowledge in designing new fonts. At the same time, the task was very difficult for me, I spent a lot of time digitizing the letters and doing the same thing all the time "dig a hole and dig a hole". Then I got stuck in the type application section. I really struggled, but I survived and gained a lot of experience
OBSERVATION
I've observed some of my classmates have creative ideas for type design and they've managed to make them real, I think it's incredible! Also, some of my classmates seem to have made great progress in designing applications, and I believe it would be beneficial to learn from them.
FINDING
I found a design direction that I like, this is the second semester, and I finally found a direction that belongs to me, that is lattice, I did not expect that I would be so excited to design lattice this time, but I am looking forward to my design experience can make further progress. However, I believe the end result can be improved further. Every detail must be considered, as even small changes can have a major impact on the typeface design.
