sllim: Quality vs Quantity
http://ma.sllim.com/2009/04/quality-vs-quantity.html
Thursday, April 30, 2009. Everyone can design a typeface but not everyone can design it well. Back in the days when typographers were kings only a few thousand worldwide knew and could design and make a font. It was something that needed professional skills to accomplish. Not anyone off the streets could be skillful enough to create a font/typeface. I would say no. It's an abuse, really. Disclaimer : I'm not saying all typographers now are creating worthless fonts. Type designers or should I say accident...

http://ma.sllim.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 18, 2009. My MA project title :. An investigation into the influences on design in the 20th century". The last term was spent mostly on research. Researching what kind of thing actually influences the look on design ; people, art movement, technology, political, cultural, etc. This term I decided to just focus on one aspect as my research is too broad. I've narrow down my scope to the area of typography. During my sign up tutorial with Shaimaa (as my tutor, Peter Lester, wasn't available ...

sllim: Expo board
http://ma.sllim.com/2009/07/expo-board.html
Friday, July 3, 2009. This is my exposition board image. It explains what I'm doing and shows the 10 book cover that I've designed. Hopefully I'll have time to print out 7 of the covers coz half way through printing today I found out that my printing account wasn't credited £40. Only mine wasn't! Somehow I seem to be 'out of the system'. Same thing happened 2 terms ago when I was the only one who didn't have the timetable on NOW. Sigh Me, the black sheep. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

sllim: Doubt Attack!
http://ma.sllim.com/2009/04/doubt-attack.html
Thursday, April 23, 2009. Reflecting on my feedback, I feel that I'm not sure how to move forward in certain areas. There seems to be a lot of road blocks. It somehow reminds me of 2 sentences in the song 'My Wish' by Rascal Flatts. If one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walking til you find a window". I'm going to have to find my window to move on. Questions, questions, questions. What are the questions I should be asking? How deep should my questions be? How could I be original?

sllim: Work in Progress
http://ma.sllim.com/2009/03/work-in-progress.html
Monday, March 23, 2009. During my work in progress presentation I showed a few designs that I've done. I felt that it is too unexciting and plain. After the presentation, during the last session with Jon Barnbrook I asked for his opinion/feedback and he gave some interesting feedback that I might be using in creating my work for the next presentation. I showed him my presentation slide and he said it was much more interesting than my actual work! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

sllim: Cut & Paste
http://ma.sllim.com/2009/05/cut-paste.html
Friday, May 15, 2009. Surely, it is. I've been doing some cutting and pasting lately. And I must say it is really fun. Something different from what I've been doing; reading, writing, staring into the computer screen. There's so much of freedom to arrange the layout as I want to. Add drop caps whenever I want to. Italic. Normal. Huge size. Tiny size. 1 column. 2 columns. 3 columns. There's just no end. Now to the more serious part of the project. My book. What is it about? Influences in the 1920s.
