I&VN Character review and feedback

GCD60204, Hafiz Zamri
Illustration and Visual Narrative
Character review and feedback


Lecture 3/Tutorial 3
I was absent this day, but I was able to get a general idea of what we did from my classmates:

  • We reviewed the characters we designed and their backgrounds
  • We used clipping masks and images to give our characters textures
  • We used an online Pokemon card maker to convert our characters into cards
  • We were told that for our first assignment (Nando's), we would soon be given a line from a song (Concrete Jungle), whose message we would then communicate into a visual art piece
  • There was a talk on Intellectual Property in Malaysia; the general message to take away was that we should copyright all our artwork

The general consensus was that typography was essentially the art of text, and how text could be made into art and deliver a message. They walked us through the module outline and showed us examples of previous students' portfolios. We would be mainly delving into the world of calligraphy and type. Our first task was to get together into groups and research a particular calligraphic hand. My group chose Gothic textura quadrata. A classical, 13th century Black Letter font developed in Germania, mainly used for inscriptions and stained glass.

It can be used to deliver me...

In class we focused our efforts on further developing our fonts; digitization, fixing errors, etc. We reviewed our progress and gave us feedback on the work we had completed so far. Week 10 We were not given a theoretical lecture this week. Instead Mr. Vinod gave us a lecture/demonstration on how to use FontLab Studio. He talked us through how to setup the font parameters; e.g. Ascender and Cap height.
