Progression:

For week 10, Mr. Vinod wants us to prepare the proposal about what we gonna do for our final task.

For the idea, I prepare 3 proposals to continue with.

The first and second idea was create a modern fiction film that inspired by movie'NEON' and 'DUNE'. The third was continue my task 1 typeface but due to my own curiosity I decided to combine idea 1 and 2 together.

Research:

Figure2.1.2 Reference 

Progression: 
Figure3.1.1 Came out all the uppercase letter 
The reason why I just did an uppercase letter was that in this task I only need an uppercase letter to do it.

At the start of this assignment, I keep struggling in some complicated letter such as letter 'S'.
Figure3.1.2 Creating letter  'W' 'X''Y''Z'
Letter X and letter W were the most interesting letter that I made I think. 
For letter'S' Mr.Vinod suggest me to take a look at a Netflix movie called 'Abstract'(S2, Last episode). 
Figure3.1.3 All uppercase letters
After I finalized all the letters in Adobe Illustrator, I switch to Fontlab to do some adjustments.
Figure3.1.4 Import all the letters I did in illustrator to Fontlab
Figure3.1.5 Kerning

Collateral:
For the collateral, I created a poster, Thermos cup,  T-shirt, popcorn box, and skateboard. The reason why I create Thermos cups, T-shirts,s, and skateboards is just because I wanna create something that can convey the meaning that was playful to the audience.

However, Mr.Vinod tell me that maybe my application was not too related to my typeface, therefore I decided to add some new collateral into it.

Feedback:

Week 10:
I Didn't attend class due to being uncomfortable.

Week 11:
Go watch Netflix movie'Abstract' to have a better understanding of letter 'S'

Week 12:
No comment for this week. Because I slept over and the section was over( I'm sorry).

Reflection:
Experience:
Overall from this task experience was quite excited me because Mr.Vinod gave us a lot of space to let us explore ourselves. The most fun part was when i used the font that i create and came out the poster i feel it quite fit into it and I feel so happy with it. It was quite a struggle because I can't generate the font at first, but luckily it came out well.

Observation:
As usual, though this whole process I feel that my classmate was actually awesome. Their work was really stunning and inspired me. For the typeface, I have done much research but I found out the reference was lacking, therefore i try my best to create a new one.

Findings:
After this task, I need to concentrate on how I gonna pass a message in my own design and how to gonna make the audience/ client more satisfied with it.

Further reading:
This book gave me a clear mind when i created my own font.
This youtube channel gave me a lot of thoughts when i creating my font.
