Complementary Typefaces

This picture uses the same typeface and capitalization of text for the title and body, which does not allow for a good contrast between them. Although the fonts are different in terms of the size, this makes it hard to narrow down what you are trying to emphasize. They could have used a Sans Serif font for the body text.

Readability

The text in the picture is also hard to read as it uses a Serif font, which on computer screens makes it harder to read due to the low resolution. The body text is also center-aligned, which causes the reader to not be able to read the text with ease as each line does not naturally start from the same point.

Hierarchy Matters

The body of text in the picture is placed in one chunk and not broken down into smaller chunks of text (i.e. paragraphing). There is also not much variation in the fonts in the text to emphasize any key points.

Golden Ratio For some of the text sizes, I adopted the golden ra...

Final Project

Ideating The Beginning of The End As NM3217 draws to a close, I decided that for the final project of the module, I chose to do a brand style guide on my own identity. I first began to come up with a short introduction on what I wanted to portray: A glimpse into the craziness and creative process that goes behind game development. Word Cloud: Video Game Developer, Crazy, Crackhead, Noisy, Creative Mood Board: Logo Exploration: I decided to do up a few preliminary sketches on logo exploration by thinking of the multiple icons that can represent me as a person: Style Exploration: Typefaces: I went online to search for typefaces that matched the style and theme I was trying to go for. This font explores the more "fun" side of my branding This font emphasizes the refinement during game development and a more serious tone Critique: During the critique, I was given feedback that the colour scheme that I chose may look too glaring and needed some contrast. I decided to play around w...
