Pen Practice

Pen practice

It was easy to make a straight line because I had to only click anchor to anchor.

However, it was difficult to make a curved line.

I clicked anchor to other anchor, and dragged, but this line became strange.

I clicked every different anchor so finally, it didn't seem to be smooth circle line.

So I clicked anchors and made short lines to look like curved lines.

Typography Test


I chose this quote because it makes me think that today is how important and valuable.

I wanted to choose a font which leans somewhat toward the left

when I made "Yesterday is history" because I want to express the past.

The past has already gone.

In contrast, I wanted a choose a font which leans somewhat to ward the right

when I made "Tomorrow is a mystery" because I want to expree the future.

The future will come soon.

When I made "Today is a gift", I would like to choose a font which is very straight and solid.

I made "today" is bold font.

The present is now.

In addition, I thought that gift and present are very important words in this quote.

These two words are the synonym and has same, wonderful meaning.

Present has two meaning, today and gift.

This is very fun.

I wanted to use warm color so that people can realize the meaning of this sentence easily.

Also, I made "why" big, because this word makes me feel wonder after words and pause a little.

I like this quote and made typography.

Glyphic monster

 
<Jina Kim>
 
Left: Glyphic monster /  Right:Original character
 
 
It's difficult to make a head and body because this character has so many circle lines.

I rotated each glyphic by a little bit to look like circle lines.

I made his glasses bigger, then it became very thick.

So i made outlines of his glasses smaller and inline of his glasses bigger.

I would like to express this charater's cute, tiny arms and short feet.

I put glyphic together and make arm and feet.

I thought that too many glyphics looks bad.

I put many glyphics but I made glyphics very smaller in front of the stomach.

The name of orginal character is "Pororo". Pororo is a penguin.

This is very famous and popular character in Korea.

Q: Defines and describes "Leading" and "Kerning"

In typography, leading refers to the distance between the baselines of successive lines of type. The term originated in the days of hand-typesetting, when thin strips of lead  were inserted into the formes to increase the vertical distance between lines of type.

Kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. Kerning adjusts the space between individual letter forms, while tracking (letter-spacing) adjusts spacing uniformly over a range of characters. In a well-kerned font, the two-dimensional blank spaces between each pair of characters all have similar area.

7 elements of Design


1. LINE

The simple line offers great variety. Lines have a position, a direction in space and a single dimension represented by their length. Lines may run horizontally, vertically or on a diagonal. Lines may be straight, curved, dotted, wavy, thick or thin. They subtly organize and direct the eye of the observer, leading him through the piece of art as if on a tour, giving direction and communicating movement. Lines can show texture and emotion.
2. COLOR
Color (also known as hue) is a wavelength of light.  Considering a piece of art, the observer may note the range of colors used or avoided. Color can evoke emotion or symbolically represent aspects of culture or society. Complimentary colors may create contrast, while analogous colors create harmony. Monochromatic colors demonstrate variations of a single color using various tints and shades. Colors may be cool or warm.
 
 
3. VALUE


Value (also known as tone) encompasses the light or dark aspects of color. Value also covers the contrast between light and dark on a scale from white to black. Value may demonstrate depth.
 
4. SHAPE
A shape is a closed line forming geometric or free-form/natural areas in space. Shapes may be two- or three-dimensional. Shapes have length and width and may show perspective. Shape as a closed line may also perform some of the duties of lines, giving direction and leading the observer visually. Circles and rectangles are examples of shapes.
 
5. FORM
Form encompasses three dimensions, adding depth to the length and width of shape. A pyramid, cylinder, box or ball represents a form. Both manmade forms and organic/natural forms exist. Shading may add the illusion of form.
 
6. TEXTURE
Texture translates the quality of a surface, representing its look and feel. The qualities of texture may range from soft to hard, smooth to rough, wet to dry. The look (or implied texture) does not have to match the feel (the tactile or real texture).
 
7. SPACE
Space represents the area around an object, within an object or between objects. Space may give the illusion or effect of depth. Positive space represents the subject of a piece. The area around objects may be referred to as negative space and acts as more than emptiness. Negative space serves to balance and to highlight positive shapes.
