 Lecture
Second day we were met with a new lecturer Mr Vinod and Mr. Shamsul. At the beginning of the lecture we were asked "what is typography?", everyone has variants of answer but The general consensus was that typography was essentially the art of text, and how text could be made into art and deliver a message. After that we were showed our seniors portofolio, and their progress are well documented so its comfortable to see.
The first task we were given was a group project and research a particular calligraphic hand. We were new to calligraphy and so we google it to find all different kind of styles and we chose PF Champion. Turns out the one we got was actually categorized as a font the difference between font and calligraphy by general is that calligraphy is handwritten and so it usually originated from the old days when there was no printing machine. So now we know whats the difference

Feedback
so overall is good but the circle doesnt show the thick and thin of the lines so i need more patience, also my lines got a lil bit tingly

 Reflections

 The first were relaxing just like mr.vinod said it was like a meditation, it kinda helps me focus even better ,but when doing the second and third it was a 2 days before the deadline so i was in the hurry so it wasnt as tidy as the first one. And so i got creative to make it more tidier why dont i just thicken the line from the graph paper and i manage to pull it off the result was better than the first one

Initial Game Narrative One of our first assignment were to make our own 2d platformer game. For the idea of the game I have thought the theme and I’ll rework from past personal project. Set in the distant future Creature from ancient stories came alive and ravage the planet taking those who are weak and unlucky. Even though technology has advance vastly, humanity still wasn’t prepared for this type of outbreak. But out of this despair and misery, hope also came with it. A few selected individuals were chosen by nature to wield their power and take a stand for humanity survival, these individuals are now known as spirit bearers and they are meant to lead the new civilization. But there are those who don’t desire power for it’s a heavy burden to bear, yet fate chooses unconditionally. Our story began with 2 siblings Dwyn and Marg, Dwyn was a little bit frail but he was an adventurous little rascal and willing to take risks to satisfy his curiosity. Marg was also a curios las bu...

For our class assigment in this module we were to make a mobile app prototype. And before we start the app we had to came up with a few ideas and talk it through with the lecturer mine were these one below: 1.(google?)paint: like google docs but instead you can draw doodles together 2. WalkMate: need a friend to walk with? Check people near you who is going the same way with walkmate 3.PetHelp: for those who got a new pet but dunno how take care of it After talking it with the lecturer we decided the third one would be suitable. I was thinking of making like a community based app something like PetCoach  or   Quora . and so the lecturer told us to create flowchart for this app. Also after consultation with the lecturer i had a better name idea called PetVet basically the more active users the bigger database. i also came up with a logo for it though a few said it looks like a pet burial service. I also came up with the main wireframes But after pre...
