Feedback notes

What’s working?

– Good visual effect and attempt

– The point of legibility research works

What’s not working?

– You didn’t set rules for the practice, so it’s confusing to have so many different shapes

– You should catalogue them well, to be more systematic with iterations

– In the second week approach, the basic shape is not a standard M

How to develop？

– It looks like a game, try to use the zine to show your works

– Thinking about how shape can affect legibility

– Thinking about the basic meaning of letter 

– Try to put them in a sentence

– Do more research about the foundation of typography and about symbol and meaning

– Setting some rules and do the iteration more slightly

Reflection

For the iterative process, I should set up some rules for myself before I do it so that I can do the project in a systematic way and be clearer when presenting and expressing it.

The first two weeks of the iteration I concentrated on the study of typographic form, looking at the impact of morphological change on legibility. From a linguistic point of view, I want to delve into the symbolic representation of type. From a personal identity perspective, I also want to incorporate some elements of Chinese and Western culture.
