LAST TASK : COMMON AND FAVOURITE FONTS FOR FOLLOWING USAGE..

This is my last task of Graphic and Design class.  I have to list down my 5 common and favorite typefaces from the previous task and use it for the following phrases. 

SEVENTH TASK : TYPEFACES

TYPOGRAPHY word comes from Greek words 'typos' means form and 'graphy' means writing.  The art and technique of arranging type in order to make language visible.  Typography is performed by typesetters, compositors, typographers, graphic designers, art directors and comic books.

There are millions of typefaces that we can found.  And this is my seventh task for Graphic and Design class.  I have learned a lot with typefaces and i have to determined 5 of common typefaces and 5 of favourite typefaces that i always use in my daily life.

I prefer to choose and use my top 5 favorite typefaces. I prefer for a simple, static, and neat. As such, all five of my favorite typefaces features a simple and uncluttered. In my opinion, the typefaces used is for reading and good reading is influenced by the typefaces which simple and neat so that it will be easy to see and read.

TEST ADOBE PHOTOSHOP AND ILLUSTRATOR

This is the test that i already accomplished. We are required to answer two questions given. For the question1, we must use Adobe Photoshop and question 2 should be using Adobe Illustrator. This is to test the efficiency of our understanding and using Adobe after being taught by lecturers before.

SIXTH TASK : BROCHURE

Hi! Im coming back with next task of Graphic Design. It is BROCHURE. Brochure or a pamphlet is a leaflet advertisement, it could be a single page or a multiple page.  We often see the brochure at many place.  However, once or not we think that actually brochure has their own types to differentiate.

Three function of brochure :

   -  Informative Function

   -  Advertising Function

   -  Identification Function

If look at the brochure above that i have been completed, it appears difficult to be solved.  But if we really knows the steps and techniques, it is very easy.

Brochure also have 7 types of fold styles :

       Book Fold
       Tri-Fold
       Z-Fold
       Map
       Accordian
       Gate
       Parallel

FIFTH TASK : COVER MAGAZINE

Our next assignment is just like the Yuna's cover album which is we have to find any magazine that we like and do the cover magazine exactly like the magazine. The difference between cover of the chosen magazine and my cover magazine is only the MAIN IMAGE.

I choose EH! magazine of January 2011 because the magazine's cover is really simple.  They just use three colours ; white, black and red.  It is easy for me because i don't need to find the specific code of colours to make sure the chosen magazine's cover is same with my magazine's cover.  It is also simple but attractive. People look at this cover automatically will attract to buy. (mmg aku selalu attract nak beli magazine sebab cover design + main image)

p/s : Main image is by Sazzy Falak, shared about her life after marriage and what she loves the most. Yes, just like the main cover line, she loves food! So do i..  =)

COVER MAGAZINE

(this cover is for tutorial in class)

Hi!
Our next task is design a front cover for magazine. Without any knowledge of graphic and design, it is very hard to do with our own. Seriously! (wa x tipu lu..) So that, i think it's good for me to share some knowledge that classmate and i learned from our Sir Khairuddin. 


Magazine is a periodical that usuall contains a miscellaneous of articles, stories, poems and stories.  There are 7 elements in order to make a cover magazine. Let's check it out!!


1.   MASTHEAD
    > name of the magazine displayed in the typeface in which it is designed.
2.   SELLING LINE
    > short, sharp description of the title's main marketing point.
3.   DATELINE
    > month and year of publication, often with the price.
    > note that monthly magazine usually hits the new stands the month 
       before the cover date.
4.   MAIN IMAGE
    > photo or visual that big enough to be major part of the cover layout.
    > main image also define as focal point that grab attention of readers.
    > style shot : full body, half body, individual or a group.
5.   MAIN COVER LINE
    > this is very large-taking up about a quarter of the cover area and 
       comes in 3 layers.
    > each with a different color.
6.   COVER LINE
    > distributed around the main image without detracting from it too much.
    > contains selected titles or excerpts from the magazine contents.
    > amount of cover line depend on amount of highlight of each magazine.
7.   BARCODES
    > standard bar code used by retailers.

FORTH TASK : COVER ALBUM

Our next assignment is about to create our own cover album that looks like Yuna's cover album which title DECORATE.  Im perfectly sure it is exactly not like Yuna's cover album but at least i give a try to create such like her cover.

It feels like i didn't want to see it again and again because even for myself, i am not attracted at all with this cover album. Hahaha.

Whatever it is, i am still proud of it because im doing it myself. Im proud... maybe. 

My cover album. I choose walking alone because sometimes i loves to walking alone without anybody besides me. It makes me feel free, calm and easy for me to think.  For me, song's title is not a must that you should put it on your cover album. It can be anything eventhough not related. So, that's why i choose WALKING ALONE to represent one side of myself.
