Task 3B: Type Design & Communication

With the option that Mr. Vinod provide us, We have to choose our own event to work on this assignments. There some many option that Mr.Vinod gave us and it quite challanging for me to choose one of that option cause, there are so many interesting oprion that i want to work on. But, I decided to go with Chinese New Year event because i think is fit with the instruction that we only can use white, red, and black.

1. Visual Research

Fig 2.1 La Oriental Fonr

Fig 2.2 Modern Japanese Font

I was thinking what is chinese new year typography sticker would look like? And i got the idea to do it with some type of oriental font, and the i start to look at the reference. I got the reference from google (Fig 2.1 and Fig 2.2)

2. Digitilization

I start to create a typeface with the reference that i got on my visual research progress and this is the result ( Fig 3.1).

I start to add some details on my design and this is the result (Fig 3.2 and Fig 3.3). After i attend the class and on the feedback session Mr. Vinod gave me a couple feedback for my design. So, the first one is I better remove the line on the chinese lamp because it will give me a problem in the future cause, we have to add white border at our sticker. The second is its better to put the lamp beside the happy word so it my sticker have more reasonable shapes.

After that i make some adjustment on my design and add a few things for this. On the feedback session Mr. Vinod said i cannot use the yellow color. I think it was orange and orange is red color derivative (mayne) haha. Fun fact about me, that i'm a little bit colour blind when i was do the colour blind test, sooo haha. Mr. Vinod told me maybe i can use white colour or grey to replace the yellow colour for my sticker
