LESSON 03!

HI ALL! :)
We learnt more about the history of symbols and typography.
Wait, isn't history supposed to be boring?! Not in Visual Communications for sure!

We learnt more of the different types of symbols including ideogram, rebus and logotype.
Each and every single one of them are very different and hold different purposes and uses.
This could be very useful for our CA as we are required to create a logo and a mascot for our T-Shirt brand. To reinforce what we have learnt, we were tasked to form a group and I was part of the group to research on the various symbols of Singapore. I was really surprised to find the different types of symbols in Singapore and it was fun presenting it to the class as well and as others presented on different people such as Saul Bass, we could learn more. 

Next, we learnt more about the different types of typography and our lecturer, Ms Li Sar also showed us many different types of fonts. I was impressed to learn that typography has a long history and I can't wait to try my hand at using these various fonts! 
Next, we learnt basic photography. I had fun playing around with my camera and learning the various rules such rule of thirds and balance. 



Lines






This pictures were taken outside the Visual Communications class and I had to find the best angles to portray the theme well. 

Framing


For framing, I just wanted to keep
it simple.

Rule of thirds










Simplicity 











Balance






I had fun doing this homework as I really had to take notes of my angles instead of just taking photos any way that I like. 
That's all for today,folks! :D
