Jakarta is too Far from Green Area

                 Today i will present about problem in Jakarta. I have some options such as Jobless, Homeless, No Green Area, etc but i decided to explore in green area. My title for this presentations is 'Jakarta i s Too Far from Green Area'. 

House and Office building - In this picture, we can see that tree is very rare. Nowadays, People pay more attention to their space and forget the importance of green area - Tanjung Duren

Ringroad - Expanding road is the most frequent reason that we hear for cutting trees. The matter is after the road has been expanded, they don't planted the trees anymore. - Cengkareng

Parking Area - This picture looks so green. It’s really great, right? But can you look at the tree row, there is a blank space because they want to expand the parking lot, so they cutted down the trees. - Tarumanegara University Parking Area.

Garden on the Roof Top - Garden on the roof top is a great idea. Nowdays a mall is really hard to has a garden or green area. But in this picture we can see how creative they are to participate in making the capital city greener. - Ciputra Mall

One Tree for One Person - We must be aware that planting trees is very important. At least one person plant one tree. One tree worth for one living.  Even better if one person plant more than one tree. - My House

Great in Green - This picture looks very green and pleasant. If everyone can be aware of the importance of trees, the environment around us will be pkeasant to live. - Tarumanegara University Parking Lot

Beauty and the Beast - Rose symbolize a beautiful green areas. This land represents drought areas. A beautiful rose 'does not match' with drought area, so it would be nice if there is no drought in our beautiful city. - My School

Composition

Composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art or a photograph, as distinct from the subject of a work. It can also be thought of as the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of art

The term composition means 'putting together,' and can apply to any work of art, from music to writing to photography, that is arranged or put together using conscious thought. In the visual arts, composition is often used interchangeably with various terms such as design, form, visual ordering, or formal structure, depending on the context. In graph design and desktop publishing, composition is commonly referred to as page layout.

Type Specimen Book

Third project of Typography is make a Type Specimen Book. 

Instruction

I chose 'Goudy Old Style' and search about it, sketch, and quality control for feedback.

information

search and brainstorm

I made 3 alternatives for cover :

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

And i designed inside the book, but ms.Uma gave me feedback for some of them, like :

Feedback : page 5 better if the circle without online. page 6 looks like too crowded, but goudy old style has a neat type, so its doesn't match

Feedback : page 8 the alphabet is untidy and distracting the page. and the orange G better without outline

Feedback : page 9 the dark brown is too heavy and better the timeline in one spread, so it will looks neat and easy to read. Page 10 the dark brown is too heavy too, and should be change with something that simple and lighter.

Feedback : right page, it doesn't match with the criteria of Goudy, because Goudy has a neat type, it should change the design.

I want to put Goudy photo in my book, i made it like this :

              

                    original photo

                       

                        edited in photoshop to match the photo with the color tone

Then i changed the design and finished them all. I use French binding so i have pattern inside the binding.

I am really happy ca finished this book. not bad and I enjoy when i design this book. After i submit this book, there are some feedback, like this :

Maydeline - "Overall the result is really great. I really like the paper choice, especially the cover. The color is also great. The feeling alas fits with the image of the typeface. My favorite page from her type specimen book is the page 4, it's really simple and look really beautiful. Page 7 though, looks a bit messy, maybe it's the color choice? Bit it's really informative & interesting to look at."

Kezia - "Jesslyn type specimen already good. But there's some pages, like page 3 needs to be fix because little bit messy, and page 11 also. The background cover needs to be repaired also."

Yasmin - "Your font specimen book is really informative. we will know almost everything about the font (detailed). Some of the glue doesn't really stick well so i think you should re-glue it. The boldness of the dark colors may be bolder. A cleaner result would be awesome."

LOVE,
