Year 1 Major Project

This is the major project of my first academic year - to make a visual research book about London. There're 12 chapters which are 12 workshops we attended during last two months, they are all about graphic design basics and we use these design basics to create images, designs relative to London.

I know its not perfect and I'm not really satisfied with this final outcome as well because I know I can do it better. I've been thinking about to post it here or not, but it's time for me to face it and give a reflection talking about what I've been thinking about this project. I wont say I don't like this project, Its really a great experience for me to edit my own visual book. Those staying up late night will be my best memories in this year. Although it doesn't come out quite good at the first time, I promise my self to make a better one next. Through this project, I realize that I'm still not enough and still need to keep learning and improve myself. I should see more and do more research next before starting any of my works so that I can collect more ideas and won't limit myself or get stuck easily.

My Typography

with balls

Recently, I've kept thinking about designing my own typography and put it in my London project book, but was too busy working with my book, so i didn't do so. Besides, my brain couldn't think about other things else except coming up with ideas for the chapters. Since I've done all my projects of this term, finally my brain can work properly, so i started to create these alphabet from last night. My ideas is from Yoga position ( I used to do yoga when i was in Taiwan ). i know some letters like C, E, K and Q look weird, but if u try to look from different angle, it will make sense. :)
