End of my First Year at Uni......

I ember the day we were handed in the brief for the blog and when I looked at the hand in date, it felt like ages but time flew so fast and it is almost time for the blog assessment. At first I wasn't very keen about blogging and but now it seems like a routine thing I like to put everything I do for any of my projects in my blog. As I was looking at my work from the beginning of the year, I really felt that the work that I did in the beginning of the year, especially the GDF project was a lot immature than the work that I did later. The most challenging project for me was the group project that we did in the beginning of 2nd term as I had never done a proper group project before but it was a very enriching experience for me. When I started the course, I was a very isolated sort of person, and I working in a group would be the last thing I would do, but I am very glad that I have changed quite a bit now and I think I would rather work in a group than to work on my own as working in a group allows more creative freedom and you can take inspiration from the people you are working with. My worst performance in a project this year was in the Okido Project, although I really enjoyed being taught by Rachel and got some great ideas from her, but I felt like I didn't put much effort into the project and I could have done a lot better. The project that I am most enthusiastic about this year is the London book project. I rally liked the format of the project and learned a lot of new techniques from the workshops that I attended. I am really hoping to improve my overall performance in this project and hopefully get a good grade.
My main goal for that next year would be to improve my work by taking all the feedback that I got in the first year into consideration and trying to learn from my mistakes.

Vernacular Type Extension continued.....

These are the step by step images of the typeface that I developed as an extension to the vernacular type workshop. This typeface is inspired by the road signs.
