Project 1 : Text Formatting
15.09.2020(Week 4)
We were briefed about our 1st project in Typography, which is formatting one of the 3 texts given to us by Mr. Vinod. The three texts are "The Impact of Bauhaus on Modern Culture", "A Designer's Code of Ethics" & "First Things First Manifesto 2000".I choose First Things First Manifesto 2000 to do this project.
Sketches
This is the progression using Indesign
This was my first try with the wrong page size and wrong typefaces, which was not good at all, so I changed and remake it.
The work after the feedback:
PDF Final
The pdf with guideline.
Feedback
Specific Feedback
Mr Vinod said I used the wrong page size and wrong typefaces, which was not good at all, he let me watch the Youtube video again and fix the problem. I changed and remake it.
Reflections
Experience- It was fun to make the text format. I learnt that I have to follow the rules of cross alinement .
Observation- To make the correct cross alinement was a bit hard when I first try. But I did it.Findings- I use Gill Sans as the typeface to make the project. Because I found out that Gill Sans is simple and clear and also easy to read.

Further Reading
This week I've read Typography References. I chose the part of The Grid. , the grid is a tool that
allows a designer to create compositions with some semblance
of unity (224) and variety.
Different grid structures already exist;
designers can use these default settings
imposed by software or create their own
grid system using columns or modules.
The number of modules, columns, and
rows is not clearly or definitively set,
but during a grid’s creation, designers
should consider at least these elements
of the project:
• media
• format
• use
• image size
• typographic scope
• word count (or lack thereof)
• expandability
A traditional-looking and perfect-bound book could benefit from single
left- and right-page columns to make
text flow easily. With magazines, it’s
important to know where the gutter (the
center margin) sits and how much the
paper will creep toward the binding’s
center. And website grids often take
on a flexible and dynamic nature, with
their hierarchical structures allowing
modules to morph in shape when
viewed on screens of different sizes, for
example, a large computer monitor or a
phone’s small screen.
