REFLECTIONS
Experience
All an all this was a very eye opening experience, it has shown me how I can do and create my own typeface or font I wanted. This module has also shown me how I can use fonts to create a great output as well as changing an existing font to how I would view it to be better.
Observations
From my observations comparing with my peers there were a lot of things that were different and barely anyone showed the same thing. Everyone had their own ideas and adaptation as well as uniqueness. Some created great works, some created unique works and some even exceed my expectations. It was fun seeing how everyone could come up something interesting and unique.
Findings
Ive found that making an entire font is not easy and there are a lot of hurdles and challenges in order to make even a few letterform. Ive found that guides and structure helps a lot in a work like typography as everything needs to be perfectly ordered and structured.

Fig 4.1 Kerning pg 12 20/11/23
Kerning, creates a pleasing look to the text. Most word processors do not allow kerning adjustments and most page layout programs apply kerning automatically. On the other hand certain letter may require some manual adjustments. Kerning also is required when using all uppercase letter combinations such as VA and WA.
Fig 4.2 Identifying individual parts of a character pg 8 20/11/23
The design of the font depends on the relationship between the uppercase/ascender letters and the x-height. Fonts with a large x-height are easier to read than fonts with small height characters. The difference between the fonts is the depth of the descenders and their shape.
Characters must rest along a baseline, below the baseline is descender and above the x-heights are ascenders. X-height is located between the top of the non-ascender portion and the baseline.

Fig 4.5 Modular Systems (pg.130) (2/9/23)
It was hard at first to get used to indesign and its function but after seeing Mr Vinod's tutorial on modular and after reading from his book I understood how to place and create design in boxes.
Fig 4.6 Dilatational Systems (pg.56) (2/9/23)
Dilatational was very hard for me as I had no idea on how to bend the words and create a smooth wave, after seeing from this book it helped me out a bit and with the help of YouTube I got the understanding on how I can bend the words to create shapes like circles or waves.
Fig 4.7 A type primer by John Kane (25/11/23)
As with any craft that has evolved over 500 years, typography employs a number of technical terms. These mostly describe specific parts of letterforms. Knowing a letterform's component parts makes it much easier to identity specific typefaces.
