Friday, 3/11/2023
Before choosing the text that I will be editing, I did some research on magazine layouts.
After that, I read all three texts that were provided by Mr. Vinod. After choosing the first text, I decided to start sketching their designs first.
I liked the first and second sketches, so I tried to roughly do the layouts for both sketches.
I decided to go on with the second idea. So, I began making the title in Adobe Illustration.
After finishing the title in Adobe Illustration, I went to Adobe Indesign and added the title to the text.

However, after finishing the Bauhaus layout, I realised that I didn't really like it. So, I decided to try and design the layout for the second text.

REFLECTION
Experience
This assignment in even harder than the first one. However, it got easier as I watched more tutorials on Youtube. My friend also helped me a lot.
Observations
I have to read the instructions correctly which were provided in Microsoft Teams.
Findings
All articles in the world follow the same steps when they were created. I have to learn from the professionals in order to create an amazing text composition.

LECTURE
Week 7 (10/11/2023) : Mr. Vinod checked all of our works and gave us feedbacks. I got to see my classmates' works. My work was mostly wrong because I didn't read the instructions carefully, but when I got home, I immediately started fixing my work.

FURTHER READING
I read Typographic Design: Form and Communication by Rob Carter in order to do this assignment.
Spatial measurement as shown in the page above means the size of the font. Each purpose such as title and regular sentence has it's suitable font size.
Most fonts have many designs which we call "family". For example, the Univers family.
When designing an article in a page, the proportion of the text and pictures must be planned out first.
Single column grids are the most common proportion used.
When working with multicolumn grids, it is important to balance three independent variables which are type size, line length and leading.
Grids allow the contents in a page to be arranged in the perfect order to make it easier to be read.
