New Typographic design I actually i read this a long time ago but thankfully i made some notes before returning the book. Ok this book starts with the history of the good/bad development of the printing media itself. So it starts with writing as a fine craftmanship but slowly changed by entrepreneurs  into a cheap publishing company. And also it talks a lot about bodoni and his works. ok thats the bad ones, the good ones comes after it says that people tend to become innovative and  it also tellshow it effects young designers. After a few pages of introductions they have a bunch of collection of typography and categorize into 4 types  Type as form Type as Image Type as Experiment Type as motion

Week 9 - Week 10 (30 Mei 2017 - 6 June 2017) Nouval Kemalsyah Adhigumilang (0331328) Typograpghy & Hypertextuality Assignments—Project 02 Lecture Week 9   On this week we didnt have any lecture and so were focused on designing fonts. Week 10 Introduction to FontLab Instructions Description You will be expected to design a font of 27 western alphabets along with punctuation marks.To begin with choose an existing font design that adheres to the direction that you would like to head in. Study the font carefully by analysing its anatomical parts. Identify a Form (Basic shapes i.e., Square, Circle, Triangle) this shall be the starting point of your designs. You may also choose shapes that you see around you or that you like (i.e. an arrow, a face, a building, etc). One of these shapes will form the basis of your font design. Your font can be designed to also fulfil a specific need.Start with rough sketches and upon approval begin digitization of the drawings—s...

Instructions Project 3: Parallax Description An undertaking of a series of Illustrations to illuminate narrative spaces and transitions that allow to demonstrate technical and conceptual abilities. Narratives can be conveyed in many ways. Some narratives follow a traditional linear arc. Other narratives loop in time, flash forward and back, restructure sequence or employ aspect-to-aspect transitions. Some view the same incident from different perspectives. Multiple narratives can be spliced together. Events can be placed in random order. Panels can be subverted. And several narrative threads can be simultaneously told. Narratives can be poetic. They can explore internal emotions instead of external action. They can investigate a central theme. Narratives can be shaped around predetermined rules. They can be reversed, labyrinthine in nature, and involve multiple readings with ambiguous beginnings and endings. Outcome Based on the given narrative you are to create a series of...

Week 6 - Week 8 Nouval Kemalsyah Adhigumilang  (0331328) Typograpghy & Hypertextuality Assignments—Project 01 Lecture Lecture 6: Basic introduction to inDesign On this lecture we learned the basics of indesign unlike the usual lecture.They taught us how to format the documents, setup guides, change measurement units, manipulate the kerning and leading of text as well as a host of other basics. We were also taught how to create facing pages, how the master-pages worked and how to space out text, lines and paragraphs. Lecture 7: Tracking, letterspacing and kerning Kerning is the reduction of space between the letters. Increasing the space between letters is letterspacing. Doing both is called tracking. Actually there is more than just three things we learnt, We also learned about alligment e.g.  Flush left  is another term for left alignment of text. It mirrors asymmetrical handwriting. Spaces between words are consistent, allowing the type to create an  ...
