The Art of Typography

Yea~ After a week something, finally I got an idea to post. Thanks to Six, because recently I just drop by at his blog, talking about their subject in this semester, one of the subject is basic typography. Actually this post is specially post for my juniors, since they learn typography this semester, just to let them have more interest to typography. Not gonna talk about the history of typography, just to share about my experience and opinion of typography. Still remember that when I was 1st year Diploma, the third semester we just started to learn about typography, compare with our juniors, they already start to learn in second semester. Thanks to Mr Ng something, I learned to love typography, a lot.

In art and design, typography play a very important role. You can see typography at everywhere, every corner. Usually we read a lot in book, magazine, although it just a paragraph with a lot of text, but it's a part of typography. For most of the people might think that just a text ONLY, but for me, when we reading, we are seeing something so called Art. Nowadays, designer love use typo to design their stuff. No matter in what element, typo just appear everywhere. It doesn't have to be so complicated, just see how you arrange it. Here is some great examples of typo arrangement.

Typography appear in many different design platform, such as T-shirt design, web design, logo design, 3D, illustration and many others that can use typo to design. Here are some examples.

one of my favourite motion.

There's still a lot of different kind of typo design. You can try to explore a lot of different way to present your typo design. I did explore some typo design too, it's really fun when you try to do it in different way and the result is unpredictable. Just to show some of my typo work~

And here have some great typography inspiration website.

New Works

New works~~~ yeah~ new work... actually not really "NEW" la... because I'm so damn lazy, some of the work I drag very long time to finish... should say not even really complete... I realize I getting more and more lazy to design new artwork, where's passion go? sigh~ anyway, I would like to share some of my work here, comment are welcome~

Original photo

Shoe Fantasy

I have spend a very very long time to finish this design, not because of the design hard to do, is because I'm so damn lazy until I used more than half year to finish it. Well, should say don't even complete yet, but I'm lazy to continue to add things. If not mistaken, I been started this design since January, this year. Then when February, i started my internship, so I just leave this design for 3 months long. After the internship I still lazy to continue to finish until now I just try to finish. I still remember that the original photo i taken by me at Pavilion when I was alone go walk here and there around sungai wang area, so sad.

Destruction

Actually I don't know why that I'll name this work as "destruction", it doesn't really "destuction", but, I kinda like this word. This is a personal work I did during my internship. During that time, I got nothing to do for the whole week in the office, watching all my colleagues working like hell and I was so damn free to did this design. For your information, those bar are not 3D, yea I know, it does not look like also... Zzz... but I kinda like this kind of "fake 3D shape" since I was inspired by Blindn , an Australia artist. Also inspired by most of the design by oversea artist, their design were include depth. What I mean of "depth", is the apply the depth of field in the design. As you can see in "Destruction", i made some small blur pieces to give depth of field feeling. Do consider "depth of field" in your design, but make sure it suit with your design.

Happy Birthday Qiong Wen

This is not really new work la, I have uploaded it since last month when my friend, Moon, 21st birthday. Let's talk about how i did this, those typo are 3D text that create by 3Ds max. The reason I use 3D text is not because of I though that 3D text look nice in the design at 1st, it is because of my laziness. Before I did this, I though of use illustration style to create the typo, but it's quite troublesome, because I need to sketch on a paper and trace it in photoshop. And then, I change to use 3D text. But surprisingly, the outcome look good. You guys might ask, why the heck those liquid look so fake 1? sorry lo, I know it's look cacat, but that's my limit to create the liquid, I cannot make it look more realistic liao la~ And yea, I print it as photo and put in a photo frame to present to Moon. It really look good in photograph, do consider print your work as photograph, the color quite nice, better than some "printing shop" around Tmn Melawati.

FINALLY

Finally, yes, finally. I have start my blog, i been talking about open a blog since long long time ago. Because of my blog header design plus my laziness to finish my header, till now i only start my blog. Actually I don't really know how to write a very long article in the blog and also, I don't like to do so. Basically I will talk about art, design and my lifestyle in my blog, and share some of my work. Well, I really got not much thing to talk about, at last, share with u guys a simple work. Be Happy~
