Typography is a style and appearance that is printed. Typography is important because it creates a consistent design that is good to see. The quote, "Each font has a personality and a purpose" means that each font you chose would match or wouldn't look good depending on how you use it. Five different fonts we learned was: Serif: has "legs" on the ends of the letters; can be used in newspaper titles San Serif: is smooth and is mostly seen in google docs, etc and commonly used Monospaced: has equal amount of spaces in each letter; found Script: is fancy/cursive; is like calligraphy and an example where it can be used can be a letter/invitation Display: funky fonts; advertisements, games Typeface ComparisonIn the Typeface Comparison assignment, I used the same word but in different types of fonts (serif, san serif, monospaced, script, and display). I wrote each type of font and the name of the font on the side. The image below shows my work: Word PortraitsAnother assignment I completed was called the word portrait. This time I used 10 different fonts with different words each time. I used a word that will match the font and next to it would be a word that I think doesn't match with the font I used. Afterwards, I wrote the name of each font on the right corner of each row.

In class, we learned how to cut out pictures, make shapes, and to layer, group, and align shapes. I created this scene by cutting out 3 pictures: donut, pizza, and a person on a background. The pen tool cuts out and makes unique shapes easily. We did many assignments relating to using the pen tool. We did the penny assignment by cutting out the man in the middle. I also did the superhero tracing using the pen tool to create new shapes. I used the option button to change the direction of the cut out and if you drag your touchpad outwards, it would make a round shape. For the Spiderman icon I used all the skills I learned from the previous lessons and videos provided in class. Below are the screenshots of the exercises that I completed in class. This pen tool summative has no specific meaning and was just made out of creativity. The scene I created is a man flying out with food balloons. Some challenges I faced while making this was how I needed to match the background color with the image. I overcame it by just using the eye drop button. Here are the screenshots:
In this class, everyone was given a summative project that meant something special to us. I chose this scene because it represented what I like to eat and do. I used simple shapes and converted some shapes to paths so that I have a variety of shapes in this. As you can see on the top left, I have these rectangular postcards with an "EN-" this is one of my favorite kpop groups that I like. On the bottom, I have my phone because I like using my phone to go on to browse websites and to make edits. The main part of this scene are the snacks on the plate. These are my favorite food that I like to eat. I tried to create a unique cookie instead of a chocolate chip cookie because I thought it would look a bit boring. I also love fruits; especially berries. Additionally, I love eating waffles with milk for breakfast. These things I made for this summative are very special to me because these are the things that I love.
In today's lesson, I learned how to modify shapes and to smoothen the corners of the shapes. In addition, I learned how to union, subtract, intersect, and difference shapes which are the shapes on the third row of this picture. I enjoyed playing around and making cool shapes during this lesson.
In this lesson, I learned how to align shapes in the center and to change layers by moving them up and down. The shortcuts I learned was command up and down which is moving which layers to go up or down. I also learned that command + g makes a group in gravit.
Today I learned how to fill in borders and how to change the thickness of them. I also learned how to changed the transparency of the shape and how to create dash borders around objects. I think this was one of my favorite lessons I did so far.
I learned how to make shapes and to shape them using the pointer tool and the subselect tool. I also used many shortcuts such as "V", "D", and shift.
From Gravit I learned that you can create pages in different sizes. You can also duplicate them and do many cool options on Gravit. When I created the account, I had no clue what to do, and was really confused at first. But later on, I got to know what were some basic steps to do in Gravit. A shortcut I learned was to make another page. You need to press "t" to make a new page in Gravit.
I made a bird with a long sharp beak. It is an unusual bird since it has a large stomach. I made this bird because I love animals and since I wanted to try something new rather than a pattern. I learned many things from this experience such as, when making an ellipse. You would need x, y, w, h. At first this was a bit tricky but after I knew which ones were which I had a lot of phone doing this. I got to learn more about coding as well, and tried something I didn't before. I did not use any tutorials when making the bird but rather just used the shapes I learned from it. I used shapes for my bird and used this one before I started to make it: www.khanacademy.org/computing/hour-of-code/hour-of-code-lessons/hour-of-drawing-code/pt/drawing-more-shapes-with-code Here is my final work: Code Editor
I do not have that much experience with Digital Graphic Designing although during 6th Grade I used Google Programs to make projects. I used Canva, Procreate, and some other programs but I did not learn Graphic Designing in depth. I do not know much about Graphic Designing yet but I am very eager and excited to learn more about it. Some things that I learned in the past was to make the layout organized, clear, and catchy when doing Digital Graphic Designing. It would not only look good to others but myself too. I think that learning something new and more in depth about Digital Graphic Designing would fun to learn because I like to do arts and crafts. Some projects I made was doing the Menu Project which was making my own restaurant or cafe and having my own menu. Here are one of my projects:
