HOLLA! Check out my first font poster design. 

I have all the elements of design in my font poster except for texture.

1. LINE: As you can see there are 2 yellow lines there in between the body text.

2. SHAPE: The main shape in the poster is the big “e”.

3. SIZE: As you can see the first letter of my short name is the biggest size object in the poster, then you will see i ended up make the”lle” smaller so it could be at the top of the “e” tail. 

4. COLOR: My main three colors are yellow, pink and blue. The black color is only for the body cope for it to be visible seen. I’m afraid if i use any other color, the body copy would be less visible and dull.

5. CONTRAST: The contrast is the yellow “elle”.

THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING THIS FONT POSTER

The first one is Helvetica. I favorable this specifically type of font because i like how clean they look but at the same time it has this professional aura in it. What i mean was, Helvetica is simple but not boring. Exactly like my type!

If you are sad, cry.

If you are happy, smile.

If you have a problem, ask.

If you are scared, close your eyes.

If you are hurt, scream.

If you want to give up, watch at how much you have made.

BAD TYPOGRAPHY! 

This is solely based on my opinion after what i’ve learned in the class.

1. The rice packaging. For me, the font for “beras serundit” is quite hard to read.

2. “Haruman Ketupat Sejati” is also quite not a suitable font for nasi impit plus some people find it hard to read especially elders.

This is an album (MAP OF THE SOUL: 7) content poster. It is a BTS’s latest album. The poster showed you when will all the videos, shows, songs and pictures will be released before the album will be officially out. I thought the poster is really creative but yet so it looks so simple and clean. Then, i realized that this poster have all the 6 elements of design!

Firstly, there’s lines. There are four white lines that separate the event title from other texts.

Secondly, shapes that are used to brighten up the poster. In this poster, there’s a 7 number shape to complement the album’s name (MAP OF THE SOUL: 7).

Thirdly, the sizes. Each texts are of various sizes to catch the attention of readers such as main title, title and body copy.

Then, there’s colors. The major colors in this poster are blue, yellow and white. They go with the colors that will match the album’s cover colors.

Next, the value is the contrast attribute of the poster which is the big 7. Without value, readers won’t stop and stare.

Can’t help but to follow the flash challenge photo shoot trend (No dslr camera needed). These are what you need!

- A hard paper to make a circle shape.

- An extra phone that can provide a high quality flashlight.

- An iPhone camera to snap your pictures. (Must be iPhone because they have the best quality of phone camera).

PACKAGING: THE GOOD & THE BAD

The good packaging - Kleenex tissue.

As we can see from the picture, there are 3 boxes of Kleenex tissue with the same size but different colors, design and theme. From my view, i really think these are such a creative and attractive packaging’s design that anyone could have ever think of for a simple product such as tissue. 

The first box of tissue is “the small cute house”. We can see the colors of the house are well matched and attracting but, here comes the creative part, the part when you pull out a piece of tissue from the box is actually looks like a smoke coming out from the house’s chimney! Next, “the typewriter” box. How creative can you be to come out with an idea like this? We can see that when you pull out a piece of tissue from the typewriter box, it will look like a paper is coming out from it. Just like an actually typewriter! Lastly, “the blue whale” box. Just like those other two, when you pull out a piece of tissue from the box, it will look like the whale is releasing the water from his body. Wholly brilliant i think!

All those 3 boxes look very simple and light but because of the creativeness, it just made it perfect.

The bad packaging - Pinky’s sausages.

Oh what can i even say? Just by look of it, it was terribly bad to be a food’s packaging. Firstly, if you want to sell a food product, the packaging MUST be APPETIZING. If you look at the packaging above, it does not look appetizing at all. In fact, it looks disgusting. The color choices is also extremely bad.  

Quote’s Review

When i first read this quote, i was taken aback because of how amazing he views the situation. I absolutely agree with Henry Ford’s sayings by “stopping advertising is like stopping a clock to save time”, which is way more wasteful. You are wasting your time and business if you don’t advertise your product or brand in order to save money. This kind of mindset is not good in the business world. 

But at the same time, I’m painfully aware that when things get tight for business, of course the first thing we would think of is by cutting off cost and advertising is included. I mean, you could maybe stop to advertise your business sometimes when you are really in a dead end situation but do not stop forever. Get your spirit up back again once things get settle down because those who continue to advertise in tougher or slower times will actually gain a bigger piece of the pie. T
