Typography

1. What is the name of your font?  How does the name relate to your font?
2. Describe the style of your font.
3. What was your inspiration when creating your font? 
4. How does your font relate to your personality? Please explain.
5. What was your biggest struggle in creating your font?
6. What was your biggest success in creating your font?
7. If you could create a 2nd font, what would it look like and what would you call it?



               My fonts name is "Nguyen" Its related to the font because of its bold like style. The style of this font is Sans Serif Style. My inspiration of this font was thinking of bolded stylish fonts used through out the world. This relates to my personality from its stylish curvy waves. My biggest struggle from this was to make everything become perfect and the similar to each of them. My biggest success was finishing the whole thing. If I made a second font it would be like a calligraphy style using the pen tool.

Helvetica Recap.

1. How does a font/typeface create a mood, feeling or image? Describe an occasion when you had a particular reaction to something in print, not because of the content, but because of the font?  
2. Think of the font you most commonly use when working on your computer. Which one is it and why do you use that one?
3. How is design an expression of the times? How does politics affect the art of design?
4. Imagine that the post office, your local bank, or your favorite store or company, whose signage is familiar to you started using a different typeface. How would that change their image or your feeling about that business or organization?
5. What might you take away from this film in terms of possible effects on your work or other aspects of your daily life?
6. What changes, if any, has this film made in how you think about print and graphic design.

        A font can create a mood by its figure/shape. When I see the font Times New Roman the top and bottom of it makes it more easier to read then other fonts. The most common font i used is Times New Roman because usually the teacher would ask to print it in that font. Design does make a difference to people, because they like a certain design of it which makes feel that it fits to what their putting it on. Politics affect the design by putting it on govermental documents. In my local area I would change the font so everyone has different kinds of fonts. I wouldn't take anything from the film, because mostly everything that i seen amuses me. The film does change my ways of printing and designing, Because you could have a font that doesn't fit.

Currency

• Why did you include the images you did in your designs?  What meanings do they have?
• Which elements and principles did you use and why?
• What do you think you were most successful at during the creation of this project?

           Elgoog is one of most visited places to be for adventure. The images i used were some symbols that I think that would fit in my country and some images where it would identify this country if it were a place to live, I put images of my self when I was younger and one of my friends. I put lighting hitting the city, because Elgoog is famous for when their is thunder during a sunny day. The elements I used was color i used three different colors on a bill to have people see each images by a section instead of seeing all in one. Space was used in all of the images, I tried to cover everything with an object and not leaving anything blank.The value of this was used by many light colors, blue, pink, purple, and orange. I used shape, but it was fairly used in all the bills. 

            The most successful thing during this project was making the currency. My favorite one was the 1st one I thought it was the perfect one because all the colors blended in it.

Designing Currency: Your Imaginary Country

1. Where is your country located?
2. Describe the culture/people of your country.
3. What is everyday life like in your country?
4. What does your country look like? What colors do you see?
5. What does your country sound like?
6. What does your country smell like?
7. What colors are in the flag?
8. What is your country's slogan? (for example: In God We Trust, etc)
9. What does your country's seal/freedom symbol look like?
10.  Name of person in charge of the country and their title.
11. Denomination Name (you may not use one that is already in existence...)

              My country is located somewhere in a tropical area where its ether sunny, or where it is raining. The people in my country are motivated and want the best adventure of their life. An everyday life in my country is they go skydiving or go in to the ocean. My country looks like a place to do anything you want, there is blue and orange that I would see in my country. My country sounds like a fun place to be. My country smells like a place where you want to be everyday. The colors of this country is blue and orange. There slogan would be something about the republic of the country. The country's seal would be something where it would all connect together like a cycle of things repeating. I would put one of my friends and myself to be in currency, they would be secretary and I'll be the president. The name of this country would be called "Elgoog"

Animation Wrap Up.

         The idea of this animation was to bring back old retro games from the past. The biggest success to our animation was making the whole thing. There was no struggle making this animation everything went smoothly. I don't think I would change anything, because it was our first idea and it went great. If we made a sequel it would probably feature the past games to the present games.

Nursery Rhyme

                                  
                                                An apple a day will keep the doctor away.
      An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Apple in the morning - Doctor's warning
Roast apple at night - starves the doctor outright
Eat an apple going to bed - knock the doctor on the head
Three each day, seven days a week - ruddy apple, ruddy cheek




      The apple calendar represents you should eat apples everyday and on the right represents a sick person and when he eats apple the doctor and him separate from each other.

Vexel portraits

Do you feel your vexel portrait is successful and why?
What was the hardest part of completing this project?
If you could Vexel-ize anything else, what would you do?

No, It was hard to get the right shapes and the color to get right. I thought everything was hard to do. If I could vexel-ize any one it would be Steve Jobs, presenting the iPhone or Kevin Durant.

Transformation Project

                                                                           Congratulations!

We lost out there!

                                                                   Give me the ball.

                                                     I've never spun a ball on my finger.

                                                       

I'm taller than you....

1. Who did you transform yourself into? Why?
2. What was most challenging about this project? Why?
3. What was simple about this project? Why?
4. If you could choose one more photo to add to this transformation project, what would you add?

          I transformed myself into a basketball player because basketball is one of my favorite sports and I've played basketball since I was only 8 years old. The most challenging thing about this project was getting the skin tone close enough to the real one. The simple thing about this project was picking my idea. I didn't what to pick so I picked the idea about being a basketball player. If i had one more photo to choose I would choose to be with the NBA champions taking a photo with the President. I would just add myself to it.

Transformation Brainstorm

1. If you could transform yourself into another person, who would it be?  Would it be a person of a certain occupation?  A celebrity?  A family member? A fictional character?
2. Why do you want to transform yourself into this person?
3. What locations will you photograph yourself in?
4. What props will you need in order to complete this transformation?
5. What research will you need to do in order to photograph yourself as this person?
6. Upload a photo of inspiration for your new character. Explain how you will create the mood and expression of that person in your photo series.

I would want be Ryan Higa he is a youtube sensational person. He is really famous on youtube and featured in some TV shoes. Or I would be a BasketBall player.

I would put myself like where he is in a home video making funny stuff. For props I would need to use shirts and sunglassses. I would have to find out from each video what he does most of the time. I would have to look serious and then say something funny.

American Photography (Part 3)

1. What event from this segment was most eye-opening for you? Why?
2. How have photographs changed the way we see the world?
3. What impact have digital photos had on the world?
4. If this video were to continue on to 2011, what events would be covered? What new technologies would you see?

I thought that was most eye catching was all the wars. Because it took a big effect in history. WWI WWII and Vietnam war were some of the big moments in history It was interesting that photographers go to the war and have their own life on the line.

2. Once a picture was taken you get a little bit of what happen and you think about what was going through their mind once they took it.

3.  It helped younger people see what happen back in the past. 

4. There would be 9/11, Iraq War, Elections, etc. I would see the same cameras being used.

Digital Collage

         In this collage there are many things appearing lakes, corvette, New York skyline, The White House, San Francisco,etc. I changed them all to soft light so it would adapt to the background. I couldn't decide what to put in the collage so I decided what my interests were and put those in. I used multiple backgrounds and use soft light. I thought what was must successful was the whole thing. And there would be nothing that I could change.

• What did you photograph for your documentary photography series? 
• Why did you choose to document this? 
• What did you want to reveal or show about it?
• What did you learn about what you documented during this process.  
• What is your favorite image and why? '

I documented this series because I thought it would be interesting to see what citizens do on a Saturday morning at the farmers market.
 I wanted to show that everything can be photographed and be very interesting to everyone.
 That everything can be photographed and documented.
 My favorite picture was the second picture because he had a hotdog hat on that day.
